Frequently asked questions

What flavour of Markdown does it output?

How do I get the Markdown file?

After converting, choose Export → Markdown to download a .md file.

Can it make tables?

Yes, when your text contains clearly tabular data such as aligned columns or repeated label and value pairs.

Can I convert Markdown back to a Word document?

Yes. Export → Word gives you a .docx with real headings, lists and tables.
