Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What HTML tags are supported? ▼

We support common HTML elements: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, bold/italic text, code blocks, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.

❓ Can it handle nested lists? ▼

Yes! Nested unordered lists are converted with proper indentation. Ordered lists are converted with numbers, but nesting is limited to 3 levels.

❓ How are images converted? ▼

Images are converted to Markdown syntax: ![alt text](image-url). The tool preserves both src and alt attributes from img tags.

❓ Does it support code blocks? ▼

Yes! Both inline code (backticks) and code blocks (triple backticks) are supported. The language specification is preserved if provided.

❓ What about HTML tables? ▼

Basic table conversion is supported, but complex tables might need manual adjustment. We convert tables to pipe syntax with header separation.

❓ How accurate is the conversion? ▼

Conversion accuracy is ~95% for standard HTML. Complex structures or custom CSS classes might require manual tweaking.

❓ Is there a file size limit? ▼

No hard limit, but performance is best with documents under 10,000 lines. Very large documents may slow browser responsiveness.

❓ How are special characters handled? ▼

Special characters like & < > are automatically escaped when necessary. Unicode characters are preserved as-is.

❓ Can I convert Markdown back to HTML? ▼

This tool only converts HTML to Markdown. We’re considering adding reverse conversion in future updates.

❓ Are line breaks preserved? ▼

Yes! <br> tags and paragraph breaks are converted to Markdown line breaks. Multiple newlines are collapsed to maintain readability.
