Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. See the Syntax page for details pertaining to Markdown’s formatting syntax. You can try it out, right now, using the online Dingus. The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.

It allows users to clip either an entire webpage or selected text directly from the browser, instantly transforming HTML content into readable Markdown while preserving important elements such as headings, links, images, and code blocks. It leverages technologies like Mozilla’s Readability for accurate content extraction and Turndown for reliable HTML-to-Markdown conversion, ensuring that the output is clean and properly formatted for tools like Obsidian, Notion, or other personal knowledge bases. Users can edit the generated Markdown before saving, download it as a .md file, or copy it to the clipboard, and it also supports context menu actions for quickly converting links, images, or multiple tabs.
