Markdown conversion questions

What is the difference between Markdown and plain text?
Markdown uses symbols like #, **, and [] to describe formatting that is rendered later. Plain text has no formatting symbols at all, just words and line breaks, so it pastes cleanly into any field or editor.
Are list items kept?
Yes. List markers are normalized to clean, consistent lines so the structure stays readable without the raw Markdown symbols.
Can I control what gets removed?
Yes. In the cleaner you can toggle individual rules, such as keeping or removing headings, bold and italic, code blocks, and lists.
Does it handle large documents?
It handles long Markdown files quickly because the conversion runs locally in your browser with no upload step.
