Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses plain text formatting syntax that can be converted to HTML. It is widely used for README files, documentation, blog posts, and forums like GitHub, Reddit, and Stack Overflow.
What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
GitHub Flavored Markdown extends standard Markdown with features like tables, task lists (checkboxes), strikethrough text (~~deleted~~), fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, and autolinked URLs. This converter supports full GFM syntax.
Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?
Yes. This tool supports bidirectional conversion. Click the "HTML → Markdown" button to convert HTML markup back into clean Markdown syntax. It uses the Turndown library to produce well-formatted Markdown from any HTML input.
Does this tool support code blocks and tables?
Yes. With GitHub Flavored Markdown enabled, you can use fenced code blocks with language specification (e.g., ```javascript), pipe-based tables, task lists, and strikethrough text. All are correctly converted to and from HTML.
