Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown syntax flavors are supported?
The converter supports CommonMark as well as GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), including tables, strikethrough (~~text~~), task checkboxes ([ ] and [x]), and syntax-highlighted code fences.
How does the 'Copy Rich Text' feature work?
Copy Rich Text uses the modern browser ClipboardItem API to place both 'text/html' and 'text/plain' data on your system clipboard. When you paste into rich text editors like Google Docs, Word, or email clients, the application renders real bolding, headings, tables, and links rather than raw HTML tags.
Does this tool sanitize malicious HTML scripts?
Yes. The parsing engine processes Markdown text safely without executing embedded JavaScript or insecure script tags, preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) risks during preview.
Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?
This tool is optimized for converting Markdown into HTML. For the reverse direction, dedicated HTML-to-Markdown parsers (such as Turndown) can convert raw HTML back to Markdown syntax.
Is my text uploaded to an external server?
No. All parsing runs entirely inside your browser memory using client-side JavaScript. Your text, drafts, and documentation are never uploaded to any remote server.
Does the output include <html> and <body> boilerplate tags?
The tool generates clean, semantic HTML fragments (headings, paragraphs, tables, lists) that can be embedded directly into any webpage or CMS template without redundant doctype wrappers.
