Introduction

ReverseMarkdown is an HTML to Markdown converter library for C#/.NET. Conversion is reliable because the HtmlAgilityPack library is used to traverse the HTML DOM.

This is v5

v5 is the HtmlAgilityPack-based line. The latest release, v6, is a ground-up rewrite on AngleSharp with a Markdown DOM pipeline, additional flavors (MultiMarkdown, Pandoc), and substantially better performance. New projects should prefer v6; this site documents v5 for existing users.

Highlights

• Broad tag support - h1-h6, p, em, strong, i, b, blockquote, code, img, a, hr, li, ol, ul, table, tr, th, td, br, pre, del, strike, sup, dl, dt, dd, div, and span, including nested lists and tables.
• Markdown flavors - GitHub Flavored Markdown, Slack, Telegram MarkdownV2, and a CommonMark-focused mode.
• Tables - nested tables (emitted as HTML inside markdown), captions (rendered as a paragraph above the table), and configurable header handling.
• Links and images - smart href handling, URI scheme whitelisting, and base64 image handling (include as-is, skip, or save to disk).
• Extensibility - tag aliasing, unknown-tag strategies, and custom converters.
• Broad framework support - see Supported Frameworks.

Quick example

var converter = new ReverseMarkdown.Converter();

string html = "This a sample <strong>paragraph</strong> from <a href=\"http://test.com\">my site</a>";

string result = converter.Convert(html);
// This a sample **paragraph** from [my site](http://test.com)
