What gets converted from HTML to Markdown?
RawMark uses Microsoft's MarkItDown engine, which parses the HTML DOM and maps semantic elements to their Markdown equivalents. Navigation menus, scripts, and style blocks are stripped — only readable content is kept.
Headings (h1–h6)
HTML heading tags map directly to Markdown # syntax. Your document hierarchy is preserved as # through ######.
Links
<a href="..."> tags become [text](url). Both absolute and relative URLs are preserved exactly.
Tables
HTML tables (<table>, <thead>, <td>) are converted to Markdown pipe table format. Headers and rows preserved.
Code blocks
<code> becomes inline code, <pre> blocks become fenced Markdown code blocks with triple backticks.
Bold & italic
<strong>/<b> → **bold**, <em>/<i> → *italic*. Inline emphasis preserved throughout.
Lists
<ul> and <ol> map to Markdown bullet and numbered lists. Nested lists are supported.
<script>, <style>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>, inline CSS, and JavaScript event handlers are all removed. The output is clean semantic content only.Why convert HTML to Markdown?
Clean up web-scraped content for AI
When you scrape a webpage and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude, you get a wall of raw HTML tags, navigation links, cookie banners, and inline styles. Converting to Markdown first removes all that noise. The AI receives only the actual article content, properly structured with headings and lists — which dramatically improves the quality of answers, summaries, and extractions.
Migrate content from HTML-based CMSes
Moving from an old WordPress site, a legacy CMS, or hand-written HTML to a modern documentation system like Notion, Obsidian, or MkDocs? Export the HTML pages, batch convert to Markdown, and import directly. RawMark handles batches of up to 20 files at once — ZIP output included.
Feed HTML documentation into RAG pipelines
If your knowledge base is a static HTML site — API docs, product manuals, help center pages — converting to Markdown before chunking improves embedding quality. Markdown's semantic structure gives LangChain, LlamaIndex, and similar frameworks cleaner chunk boundaries than raw HTML with all its tag noise.
Convert HTML email templates to readable text
HTML emails often need to be archived, summarized, or fed into AI workflows. Converting to Markdown strips the layout tables and inline styles, leaving clean readable text that's easy to process programmatically.
