Common gotchas
- Google Docs wraps copied content in a fake-bold element with normal weight, which this tool unwraps so the result is not entirely bold.
- Docs expresses formatting as inline CSS on spans, not semantic tags, so the styling is read from the CSS.
- Docs colors and highlights have no Markdown equivalent and are dropped.
Frequently asked
- Why is my Google Docs paste all bold?
- Docs wraps the copied text in a fake-bold wrapper. This tool removes it, so only real bold stays bold.
- Does this keep headings from Docs?
- Yes, Docs headings map to Markdown heading levels.
