Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ATX and Setext heading styles?
ATX headings use hash characters: # for H1, ## for H2, etc. — the most widely used style. Setext headings underline H1 with equals signs (===) and H2 with dashes (---). ATX is preferred for most use cases as it supports all six heading levels, while Setext only supports H1 and H2.
Why does my converted Markdown still contain HTML tags?
HTML elements that have no Markdown equivalent (like <div>, <span>, <table> with complex formatting, or custom attributes) are preserved as raw HTML by default when "Preserve HTML" is enabled. This is valid in most Markdown parsers. Disable "Preserve HTML" to attempt stripping unsupported elements instead.
Can I convert a full webpage's HTML to Markdown?
Yes. View the page source in your browser (Ctrl+U or Cmd+U), copy all, and paste into the HTML input. The converter will process the entire document. For best results, you may want to copy just the main content section rather than the full page source including head, scripts, and navigation.
Does this tool support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
Yes. Tables, fenced code blocks, and task lists (when present in the source HTML) are converted to their GFM equivalents. GFM is supported by GitHub, GitLab, Notion, and most modern Markdown renderers.
What is the difference between inline and reference link styles?
Inline links embed the URL directly: [link text](https://example.com). Reference links separate the URL to the bottom of the document: [link text][1] ... [1]: https://example.com. Reference style is more readable for documents with many links and keeps the text flow clean.
