  • Archive content in open, future-proof formats

Tips & Best Practices

Before Conversion

  • Use a logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3 …)
  • Prefer fenced code blocks instead of inline HTML tags
  • Keep line-breaks consistent – aids paragraph detection
  • Embed images via absolute URLs if possible

After Conversion

  • Validate the XML with an XSD or RELAX NG schema
  • Run your favourite XSLT to transform XML to PDF/HTML
  • Store XML in version control for diff-friendly history
  • Use pretty-print or format-on-save for readability

Common Pitfalls

  • Inline HTML is carried over as literal text – avoid unless required
  • Tables with ROWSPAN / COLSPAN are flattened – verify structure
  • Exotic Markdown extensions (math, mermaid) are not supported
  • Large images increase file size but are not embedded (links only)
