Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Expecting perfect conversion of complex HTML

Solution: Complex layouts, CSS, JavaScript won't convert. Markdown is simpler format. Review and clean up output manually.

⚠️

Nested HTML structures

Solution: Deeply nested divs/spans may not convert cleanly. Markdown has limited nesting support. Simplify HTML first if possible.

⚠️

Losing HTML attributes

Solution: Markdown can't represent all HTML attributes (classes, IDs, data attributes). Important info may be lost. Check output!
