Markdown is the native format of wikis, static site generators, note apps and README files. The export drops in without cleanup.
Runs in your browser
Conversion is local. Drafts and internal documents never leave your machine.
Headings become # and ##
Clean Markdown with the document outline intact and pages separated by --- rules.
Ready for your docs folder
Lines whose font is noticeably larger than the page median become # or ## headings; everything else becomes paragraphs. Version it in git, publish it with your generator.
Two clicks in the dialog
Pick Markdown, optionally narrow it to a page range, convert. Drafts never leave your machine.
The outline survives
Heading levels are what make a converted document navigable again, so they are the part the export protects.
Or the web version of the same thing
HTML gives you a standalone page with the same headings, ready to publish or restyle.
