tomdnow's Word to Markdown converter transforms Microsoft Word documents (.docx) into clean, structured Markdown. It preserves document hierarchy including headings, bold/italic formatting, lists, and tables while stripping proprietary Word formatting.

The converter uses Microsoft's MarkItDown engine to parse the OOXML structure of DOCX files, extracting text content with semantic structure intact. This makes it ideal for migrating documentation from Word to Markdown-based platforms like GitHub wikis, Obsidian vaults, or static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo.
