Frequently asked questions
Is the HTML sanitized before conversion?
Yes. Scripts and event handlers are stripped. The conversion targets content, not styling.
Will inline styles survive?
No. Markdown intentionally does not carry inline styles. Use dedicated code blocks or HTML tags when preserving style is essential.
How are tables handled?
Simple tables convert cleanly to GFM tables. Complex tables with rowspan/colspan fall back to HTML in the output.
