Converting HTML Tables to Markdown

HTML tables convert to GitHub Flavored Markdown table syntax with column alignment preserved:

<!-- HTML table with alignment -->
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th align="left">Command</th>
      <th align="left">Description</th>
      <th align="center">Required</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>--config</td>
      <td>Path to config file</td>
      <td align="center">No</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>--output</td>
      <td>Output directory</td>
      <td align="center">Yes</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>--verbose</td>
      <td>Enable verbose logging</td>
      <td align="center">No</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<!-- Markdown output -->
| Command    | Description           | Required |
|:-----------|:----------------------|:--------:|
| `--config` | Path to config file   | No       |
| `--output` | Output directory      | Yes      |
| `--verbose`| Enable verbose logging| No       |

Converting Nested Lists

Nested HTML lists maintain their hierarchy in the Markdown output:

<!-- HTML nested list -->
<ol>
  <li>Set up the project
    <ul>
      <li>Clone the repository</li>
      <li>Install dependencies
        <ul>
          <li>Run npm install</li>
          <li>Copy .env.example to .env</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Configure the application</li>
  <li>Run the development server</li>
</ol>

<!-- Markdown output -->
1. Set up the project
   - Clone the repository
   - Install dependencies
     - Run `npm install`
     - Copy `.env.example` to `.env`
2. Configure the application
3. Run the development server

Migrating CMS Content to Static Site Generator

Converting a Drupal or WordPress export to Markdown files for Hugo or Jekyll:

GitHub-Specific Markdown Extensions

The converter supports GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions like task lists and strikethrough:

<!-- HTML with GFM-compatible elements -->
<ul>
  <li><input type="checkbox" checked disabled> Set up CI/CD pipeline</li>
  <li><input type="checkbox" disabled> Write unit tests</li>
  <li><input type="checkbox" disabled> Deploy to production</li>
</ul>

<p><del>Old approach using callbacks</del> — now using async/await.</p>

<!-- GitHub Flavored Markdown output -->
- [x] Set up CI/CD pipeline
- [ ] Write unit tests
- [ ] Deploy to production

~~Old approach using callbacks~~ — now using async/await.
