Are my private notes and documents secure?
Yes, 100%. All parsing, DOM tree conversion, and serialization run locally inside your browser using JavaScript. No documents or text fragments ever leave your machine.
Does this converter support code blocks with syntax highlighting?
Yes. Any <pre> or <code> blocks with language classes (such as class="language-python" or class="lang-js") are converted into triple-backtick fenced code blocks with the language tag preserved.
