HTML to Markdown Converter

Markdown is readable as plain text, diffs cleanly in Git, and is portable between tools in a way that HTML embedded in a database is not. It is the default authoring format for static site generators and documentation systems.

Yes. Beyond core Markdown you get pipe tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, and strikethrough, which is what GitHub, GitLab, and most static site generators expect.

Markdown has no syntax for things like nested layout <div>s, inline styles, or custom attributes. Where no equivalent exists the converter keeps the raw HTML inline, which is valid Markdown and renders correctly, rather than silently discarding your content.

Yes, when the source marks it. A class such as language-js on a <code> element becomes the info string on the fence, so syntax highlighting continues to work wherever the Markdown is rendered.

You can, but expect navigation, footers, and script tags to come through as noise since they are part of the page. Converting just the article element gives a much cleaner result.

Very. Moving from a database-backed CMS to a Markdown-based generator usually means converting stored HTML post bodies, and this handles the structural part of that job.
