Word to Markdown

Markdown is the plain-text format behind README files, wikis, documentation sites and note apps like Obsidian. This converter reads a Word document in your browser and writes Markdown: # headings from Word's heading styles, - bullets and numbered lists with nesting, **bold**, _italic_, ~~strikethrough~~, [links](url) and fenced code blocks.

Tables become GitHub Flavored Markdown pipe tables. Markdown tables always have a header row, so the first row of each Word table is used as the header. A cell can only hold one line in a pipe table, so paragraphs inside a cell are joined with spaces, and any pipe character in a cell is escaped so it doesn't break the table.

Images are kept as data: URIs by default, which makes a self-contained file but long lines. Many people prefer to leave images out and add them as separate files. Underline, highlighting, colors and fonts have no Markdown syntax, so that text arrives plain.
