FAQ
What exactly does this tool do?
It converts HTML task definitions (headings, paragraphs, code blocks) into Markdown. The result is a readable, Makefile-like build script that you can version-control and share.
Is the output directly executable?
The Markdown itself is a specification. You can pair it with a simple parser or use it as documentation. The goal is to replace complex Makefile syntax with something humans can read and edit easily.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Just paste, convert, and copy.
Can I use this for CI/CD pipelines?
Yes. The generated Markdown can be committed to your repo and used as a single source of truth for build tasks, which you can then translate to your CI system.
