What HTML elements are supported?

The converter handles headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold, italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, code blocks, tables, horizontal rules, and line breaks. Unsupported elements are either converted to their closest Markdown equivalent or stripped.

What happens to HTML elements without Markdown equivalents?

Elements like div, span, and inline styles are stripped from the output, with their text content preserved. The converter prioritizes readable Markdown over preserving every HTML detail.

Are HTML tables converted to Markdown?

Yes. HTML tables are converted to Markdown pipe table syntax with header rows and column alignment. Complex tables with merged cells may be simplified, as Markdown tables don't support cell spanning.

Can I convert a full HTML document?

Yes. The converter accepts full HTML documents (including html, head, and body tags) and extracts the body content. You can also paste just an HTML fragment like a single div or a list.

Is the output compatible with all Markdown renderers?

The output uses standard Markdown syntax that's compatible with CommonMark-compliant renderers. GFM-specific features like tables are used when the HTML contains them, and these are widely supported by GitHub, GitLab, and most static site generators.
