Frequently asked questions
Can I paste a whole web page?
Yes. Paste the HTML source; navigation and scripts may come along as text, so remove what you do not need.
Are tables supported?
Simple tables are converted to text. For complex tables, keeping them as HTML inside Markdown usually works better.
Which heading style should I choose?
The # style (ATX) is the most common and works everywhere. The underlined style only supports two heading levels.
Can I convert back to HTML?
Yes, with the Markdown to HTML converter.
