Copying out of Word or Google Docs never gives you what you see on screen. Underneath there are mso style tokens, XML fragments, non-breaking spaces that look like spaces but are not, zero-width characters that break your search, bullet glyphs no Markdown parser recognises, and paragraph gaps five blank lines deep. This formatter reads the rich-text flavour of your paste, rewrites it as real Markdown — headings, lists, links, tables — and then runs the whole thing through a repair pass that removes everything invisible.
How to Use the Markdown Cleaner
- 1
Paste your copied content into the left pane; formatting is detected and converted automatically.
- 2
Toggle the options for smart quotes, empty lines and trailing whitespace to taste.
- 3
Read the clean Markdown on the right, along with a count of what was repaired.
- 4
Copy the Markdown or download it as a .md file.
Why Use TextsPro
Everything runs in your browser using its own HTML parser, so the draft you are pasting — an unpublished post, a client document, an internal memo — is never uploaded, logged or seen by anyone. It also means there is no round trip: the clean version appears as you type. The conversion keeps the structure that matters, turning headings into hashes, lists into dashes, links into bracket syntax and tables into GitHub-flavoured pipe tables, while dropping styling that has no meaning in Markdown. Alongside it, the repair pass normalises mixed tab and space indentation, converts pasted bullet glyphs into real list markers, replaces invisible unicode with ordinary spacing and caps runaway blank lines at a single paragraph break.
