Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown features are supported?
Headers (#, ##, ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), links ([text](url)), images (), unordered lists (- or *), code blocks (```code```), inline code (`code`), blockquotes (> text), and horizontal rules (---). These cover most common Markdown needs.
How are headers converted?
# Heading becomes <h1>Heading</h1>, ## becomes <h2>, ### becomes <h3>. Higher levels (h4-h6) aren't supported in this simplified converter. For deep nesting, add more # symbols manually or use full Markdown libraries.
Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?
This tool only converts Markdown to HTML. For HTML to Markdown conversion, specialized tools exist that reverse the process. Complex HTML with nested structures may not convert cleanly back to simple Markdown.
What about numbered lists?
This simplified converter handles unordered lists only. Numbered lists (1. item) require more complex parsing. For numbered lists, consider using a full Markdown library or manually converting to <ol><li> tags.
How do code blocks work?
Triple backticks (```) create <pre><code> blocks for multi-line code. Single backticks (`) create inline <code> elements. Code blocks preserve formatting and are ideal for displaying programming code snippets.
Is this a full Markdown parser?
This is a simplified converter covering common Markdown features. It doesn't support tables, footnotes, definition lists, or all GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) extensions. For full Markdown support, use libraries like marked.js or markdown-it in production.
