Frequently Asked Questions

Should I paste converted HTML directly into production?

Review it first. Confirm headings, links, lists, and escaped characters still match the intended page structure.

Why check word count for Markdown?

Word count helps editors match content briefs, SEO targets, and layout constraints before publishing.

Do I need to upload files to format markdown for web publishing?

For tools that process files or pasted content, this workflow favors in-browser processing where possible so drafts and source files do not need to be sent to the app server.
