How to Convert HTML to Markdown for Clean Content

3 min read

Migrating content from a website or CMS to Markdown-based platforms (GitHub, Jekyll, Hugo, Notion) often starts with HTML. Converting it manually is tedious - a converter does it instantly.

What Gets Converted

  • Headings - <h1> to <h6> become # to ######
  • Bold/italic - <strong>/<em> become **bold**/*italic*
  • Links - <a href="..."> becomes [text](url)
  • Lists - <ul>/<ol> become - and 1. lists
  • Code - <code> and <pre> become backtick blocks
