How this HTML to Markdown Converter works

This converter transforms HTML markup into clean Markdown syntax through systematic tag analysis and replacement. The processor handles common HTML elements including headers, paragraphs, emphasis, links, images, lists, blockquotes, code blocks, and horizontal rules.

The conversion pipeline first removes script and style tags, then processes structural elements in a specific order to handle nesting correctly. HTML entities are decoded to their character equivalents for readable output.

All processing runs client-side using JavaScript DOM manipulation and regular expressions. This tool is ideal for migrating web content to static site generators or converting blog posts to Markdown.
