Question 1

Which HTML elements are converted?

Accepted Answer

Headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold (strong/b), italic (em/i), links, images, unordered lists, ordered lists, inline code, preformatted code blocks, and line breaks are all converted. Unsupported tags are stripped, leaving their inner text content.

Question 2

What happens to HTML attributes I did not list?

Accepted Answer

Only the href attribute on links and the src/alt attributes on images are preserved. All other attributes like class, id, and style are stripped. The conversion focuses on content structure, not styling.

Question 3

Can this handle full web pages?

Accepted Answer

The tool works best with body content rather than full page HTML including head tags. If you paste a full page, the script, style, and meta tags are stripped automatically, leaving just the readable content.

Question 4

Does conversion work in real time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Markdown output updates as you type or paste HTML. There is no button to click.

Question 5

Is any data sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML is never transmitted anywhere.
