FAQ

How are links handled?+

[text](url) → 'text'. The URL is removed (option to keep it available).

**bold** and *italic* markers?+

Asterisks and underscores are stripped; only the text remains.

Code blocks and inline code?+

`code` backticks are removed; content stays. Line breaks inside code blocks are preserved.

Why is this good for character counting?+

Counting markdown symbols (#, *, []) inflates the count. Convert to plain text first, then use [Character Count] for accuracy.

How about image markdown?+

![alt](url) → just the alt text. Since images don't display in plain text, alt becomes the content.

How are tables handled?+

Markdown table grids are removed; cell content stays as plain text.
