About HTML to Markdown Converter

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain-text symbols for formatting: # for headings, * for emphasis, - for lists. It's the standard for README files, documentation, static site generators and many content management systems. Converting HTML to Markdown is useful when you're moving content from a website or CMS into one of these, or simply want an easier format to edit.

Here's an example of HTML and the Markdown this tool produces from it:

<h2>Shopping list</h2>
<p>Pick up <strong>fresh</strong> bread
   and <em>ripe</em> fruit.</p>
<ul>
  <li>Bread</li>
  <li><a href="https://example.com">Recipe</a></li>
</ul>
<table>
  <tr><th>Item</th><th align="right">Price</th></tr>
  <tr><td>Apples</td><td align="right">$3</td></tr>
</table>

## Shopping list

Pick up **fresh** bread and *ripe* fruit.

- Bread
- [Recipe](https://example.com)

| Item   | Price |
| ------ | ----: |
| Apples |    $3 |

Features

• Whole pages or snippets – paste a fragment or a complete web page. The <head>, scripts, styles and form controls are dropped, leaving just the content.
• GitHub Flavored Markdown – tables (with column alignment and neatly padded columns), task lists from checkboxes, and strikethrough.
• Your preferred style – choose # or underlined headings, the bullet character, fenced or indented code blocks (fenced blocks keep the language, such as ```css), and inline or reference-style links.
• Nothing lost – elements Markdown has no syntax for, such as <kbd>, <sup> or embedded video, can be kept as HTML, which Markdown allows. Characters that would accidentally be read as Markdown are escaped.
