How Rich text maps to Markdown
| Feature | Rich text | Markdown |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | <b> or font weight | **x** |
| Italic | <i> or italic style | *x* |
| Strikethrough | <s> or <del> | ~~x~~ |
| Link | <a href> | [text](url) |
Common gotchas
- Word and Outlook bury the text in deeply nested wrapper markup and Office-only style noise, which is read for real formatting and otherwise discarded.
- Bold, italic, strikethrough, links, headings, lists and code carry over. Underline, color, fonts and highlights are dropped because Markdown cannot express them.
- You do not pick the source app. Paste from anywhere and the rich content is parsed the same way.
- Non-breaking spaces that Word and email insert are collapsed back to normal spaces so the Markdown is clean to diff and edit.
Frequently asked
- Which apps can I paste rich text from?
- Word, Outlook, email clients, web editors and most rich-text fields. They all put HTML on the clipboard, which is what this converts. The source is detected automatically.
- Why is the formatting cleaner than a direct copy into a Markdown editor?
- Most editors keep the raw clipboard HTML, including Word's style noise. This rebuilds the text as plain Markdown with only bold, italic, strike, links, headings, lists and code.
