How this service works
Strip CommonMark/GFM syntax to plain text: emphasis, links, images, headings, lists, quotes, code fences, HTML, front matter.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the extracted plain text string, character count, link count, image count, detected front matter metadata (format, line count, keys), and optionally appended link URLs — with all Markdown syntax removed according to specified options.
Example use cases
Clean markdown before sending email
“I have this markdown-formatted newsletter draft and I need to send it as plain text email — can you strip all the formatting symbols, headings, and bold markers out of it and just give me readable prose? Here's the content: '# Weekly Update\n\nWe launched **three new features** this week:\n- Dark mode\n- Export to PDF\n- [API docs](https://docs.example.com)'”
Index markdown docs for full-text search
“I need to index a bunch of markdown documentation files into my search engine but it shouldn't include the markdown syntax — can you convert this markdown to plain text and drop all the code block contents so only the prose gets indexed? The doc is: '## Installation\n\nRun the following:\n\n```bash\nnpm install mylib\n```\n\nSee [the guide](https://docs.example.com/guide) for details.'”
Extract readable text from a Jekyll post
“This Jekyll blog post has YAML front matter and lots of markdown formatting — can you strip all of it and give me just the plain readable text, with link URLs shown in parentheses after the link text? Here's the raw content: '---\ntitle: My Post\ndate: 2024-01-01\n---\n\n# My Post\n\nRead more at [our site](https://example.com).\n\n> This is a blockquote.'”
