Frequently asked questions

Are tables converted?
Yes, as GitHub-flavoured Markdown tables. A table with no header row gets its first row promoted, since Markdown tables require one.
What about images?
They come through as embedded data URIs. That keeps the file self-contained but makes it long, so you may want to pull them out into real files afterwards.
What cannot be represented?
Underline, coloured text, fonts and precise spacing have no Markdown equivalent. Underlined text keeps its words but loses the underline rather than being dropped.
Which Markdown flavour is it?
CommonMark with GitHub tables — what GitHub, GitLab and most static site generators expect.
