How Markdown maps to Plain text
| Feature | Markdown | Plain text |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | **x** | x |
| Heading | ### x | x |
| Bullet | - item | • item |
| Link | [text](url) | text (url) |
Common gotchas
- ChatGPT writes standard Markdown, so bold, headings and bullets arrive as raw **, ## and - characters. Plain text drops the markers and keeps the words.
- A fenced code block loses its backtick fence and comes through as plain lines, since plain text has no monospace. The code itself is kept.
- A Markdown table stays as raw pipe and dash rows, because plain text cannot draw a grid. Ask the model for a list when you need it in a message.
- A [label](url) link becomes the label followed by the URL in parentheses, so both the words and the address survive where links are not clickable.
Frequently asked
- How do I remove Markdown formatting from a ChatGPT answer?
- Paste the reply here with Plain text as the destination. The bold asterisks, hash headings and bullet symbols are removed and you copy clean text ready for SMS, an email or a form.
- Will the text still read correctly without the formatting?
- Yes. Headings drop their hashes and stay as lines, bullets become simple dots, and links keep both their label and address, so nothing is lost but the stray symbols.
- Is my pasted text sent anywhere?
- No. The conversion runs in your browser and the pasted text is not uploaded.
