How to use HTML table to Markdown
- 1. Paste HTML. A table fragment is enough; a full document also works.
- 2. Confirm HTML → Markdown. Preselected on this page.
- 3. Copy the Markdown table. Paste into GitHub, Notion, or the Markdown preview tool.
About this tool
Searchers type “table html to markdown” when they copied a table from a webpage and need pipe syntax for a README. This alias is that one direction — not a generic table hub.
Colspan and nested tables
Merged cells flatten imperfectly. Prefer a simple thead plus tbody. Multiple tables in one paste may concatenate rows.
When Markdown beats HTML
READMEs, ADRs, and issue comments want pipe tables. HTML is fine in CMSs — Markdown is easier to diff in git.
