Run to update output.

Copy result = output only. Copy report = output + settings.

Flow
  • Parse the HTML input into a node tree.
  • Map each node type to Markdown equivalents (headings, emphasis, links, lists).
  • Return normalized Markdown with safe fallbacks for unsupported tags.
Example

Worked example: article snippet conversion

  1. 1 Input: <h2>Setup</h2><p>Install <code>npm i</code>.</p>
  2. 2 Converter maps heading and inline code to Markdown syntax.
  3. 3 Output: ## Setup\n\nInstall `npm i`.

The output is ready for README or docs editors that accept Markdown.

How
  1. Paste HTML into the input panel.
  2. Run conversion and review Markdown output.
  3. Copy the result, then open preview tools if you need visual validation.
Cases
  • Convert CMS-exported HTML into Markdown knowledge-base content.
  • Turn copied browser snippets into README-ready Markdown.
  • Normalize HTML fragments before storing them in Markdown-first systems.
Avoid
  • Expecting complex custom HTML widgets to map perfectly to Markdown.
  • Forgetting that inline styles are usually dropped in Markdown output.
  • Skipping a quick preview check before publishing converted content.
FAQ
Does html to markdown send my input to a server?

No. HTML to Markdown handles the input in your browser whenever possible, so routine conversions, previews, and copy actions stay on your device instead of being sent to Calctrove servers.

Will CSS styling be preserved in Markdown output?

Usually no. Markdown stores structure and emphasis, not full CSS presentation.

Can this convert full HTML pages?

Yes, but very large pages may need cleanup afterward, especially around scripts and layout wrappers.
