Pre-conversion Cleanup and Best Practices
Clean Markdown means more faithful DOCX output.
| Common issue | Optimization tip |
|---|---|
| Messy heading levels | Follow strict hierarchy (# H1, ## H2, ### H3) without skipping levels. |
| Broken lists or indenting | Leave blank lines before/after lists and use two or four spaces for nested items. |
| Table alignment | Use | and --- consistently so each row has the same column count. |
| Code blocks losing style | Prefer fenced blocks like ```python to declare the language explicitly. |
| Images not showing | Reference absolute URLs or confirmed relative paths; double-check case-sensitive file names. |
| Overloaded inline styling | Limit nested bold/italic/code to avoid ambiguous parsing. |
Quick checklist:
- Exactly one H1 at the top of the document.
- Image assets reachable (hosted URLs or bundled relative paths).
- Large tables or code blocks edited for readability/pagination.
- Escape special symbols (
_,*) when they should remain literal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does the converter upload my file to a server?
A: No. Everything happens inside your browser, so nothing is transmitted or stored remotely.
Q2: Which input and output formats are supported?
A: Input .md / .markdown; output standard .docx.
Q3: Will tables and code blocks survive the conversion?
A: Yes. Headings, lists, tables, links, and fenced code blocks are preserved as closely as possible. The cleaner the Markdown, the better the DOCX looks.
Q4: How are images handled?
A: When the path is valid (local relative path or full URL), the image is embedded in the DOCX. If an image is missing, verify the path, file name case, or hosting availability.
Q5: Can I convert multiple files at once?
A: The UI focuses on single files. Combine Markdown files before uploading or run a custom script for batch processing.
Q6: What if the exported DOCX looks odd?
A: Fix heading levels, indentation, or table structure in Markdown first, reconvert, then apply Word styles if further cleanup is needed.
