What the conversion keeps and drops

Detected: Lines starting with -, *, or • become lists, and 1. lines stay numbered. Underlined titles, numbered sections like 2.1, and short Title Case or ALL CAPS lines above a paragraph become headings. Tab or | columns become a table, indented blocks become code, and bare URLs become links.
Escaped: Asterisks, underscores, backticks, brackets, and a leading # or > are escaped, so the rendered page shows your text, not accidental formatting.
Line breaks: Hard-wrapped paragraphs stay one paragraph. Short deliberate lines, like an address, keep their breaks with a trailing \.
Markdown to TXT: Syntax is removed and words and line breaks stay. Links keep their target as “text (url)”, tables become aligned columns, and image URLs and front matter are dropped.
