Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Expecting formatting preservation

Solution: Bold, italic, and other formatting is lost. Only raw text is extracted. Use HTML-to-Markdown if formatting matters.

⚠️

Missing script/style content removal

Solution: Good extractors remove <script> and <style> content. Bad ones include CSS/JS code in output. Check your tool.

⚠️

Lost spacing between elements

Solution: Adjacent elements may merge: <p>A</p><p>B</p> → "AB". Look for tools that add spaces between block elements.
