About this tool

HTML to Markdown for documentation

HTML to Markdown Converter turns markup into readable Markdown so technical writers and developers can move content into docs, READMEs, wikis, and support systems.

Clean migration output

Converted Markdown is easier to edit than HTML-heavy source. Review headings, links, lists, images, code blocks, and tables before publishing to the target platform.

Know what Markdown cannot preserve

Markdown may not capture every HTML attribute, layout wrapper, inline style, script, or custom component. Keep the original source when exact fidelity matters.

Example usage

Input

<h2>Docs</h2><p>Read <a href="/guide">the guide</a>.</p>

Output

## Docs\n\nRead [the guide](/guide).

FAQ

What HTML converts well to Markdown?

Headings, paragraphs, links, lists, images, blockquotes, code blocks, and simple tables usually convert best.

Will inline styles be preserved?

Usually no. Markdown focuses on content structure, so classes, styles, scripts, and many custom attributes may be removed or simplified.

Can I use this for CMS migration?

Yes. Convert exported HTML to Markdown, then review links, images, headings, and custom embeds before importing.

Should I keep the original HTML?

Yes. Keep it when exact layout, attributes, or embedded components may need to be restored later.
