## Convert HTML to Markdown for LLMs

Large language models work better with markdown than HTML:

### Smaller Token Count

Markdown is more compact than HTML, reducing API costs and fitting more content in context windows.

### Cleaner Structure

No style attributes, wrapper divs, or framework-specific markup cluttering the content.

### Better Parsing

LLMs understand markdown headings, lists, and links natively from training data.

### For RAG Pipelines

1. Scrape source pages
2. Convert to markdown (this tool)
3. Chunk by headings
4. Embed and index

## Frequently Asked Questions

<details>

<summary>01 ### How do I convert HTML to Markdown?

</summary>

Paste your HTML code or enter a URL above, then click Convert. This tool uses mdream (mdream.dev) to parse the HTML structure and convert it to clean Markdown syntax - headings become #, bold becomes **, lists become - or 1., and links become [text](url).

</details>

<details>

<summary>02 ### Can I convert a webpage URL to Markdown?

</summary>

Yes, enter any public URL and this tool will fetch the page, extract the main content (removing navigation, ads, and footers), and convert it to Markdown. This is useful for migrating content to static site generators like Nuxt Content or Astro.

</details>

<details>

<summary>03 ### What is the "Extract Content" option?

</summary>

Extract Content uses readability algorithms to identify the main article content on a page, removing headers, sidebars, footers, and ads. Disable it if you want the full HTML converted, including navigation and other page elements.

</details>

<details>

<summary>04 ### How do I convert HTML tables to Markdown?

</summary>

This converter automatically transforms HTML tables into GitHub-flavored Markdown table syntax with proper column alignment. Complex tables with colspan/rowspan are simplified to basic Markdown table format.

</details>

<details>

<summary>05 ### Why use Markdown instead of HTML?

</summary>

Markdown is easier to read and write, works with static site generators (Nuxt Content, Next.js, Astro), renders in GitHub/GitLab, and is the standard format for documentation. It's also the preferred input format for LLMs and AI tools.
