Export Knowledge Base to Markdown
Enterprise knowledge bases like Confluence, Notion, SharePoint, and MediaWiki let you export content as HTML. But the exported HTML is cluttered with platform-specific markup, inline styles, and wrapper elements that make it unusable for modern workflows.
This tool converts those HTML exports into clean, portable Markdown โ ready for AI assistants, static site generators, Obsidian vaults, or version-controlled documentation.
The Export-to-Markdown Problem
When you export from a knowledge base platform, you typically get one of these:
- Confluence โ HTML export with deeply nested
<div>soup, platform CSS classes, and macro containers - Notion โ HTML files with block-level wrappers, inline database embeds, and Notion-specific data attributes
- SharePoint โ Word-like HTML with
mso-*styles, XML namespaces, and conditional comments - MediaWiki โ HTML rendering with template output, category links, and navigation frames
The converter's density algorithm cuts through all of this โ it doesn't need to understand platform-specific markup. It simply identifies where the actual content lives and extracts it.
How It Works
- Export from your platform โ Use the built-in HTML export (Confluence Space Export, Notion Export as HTML, etc.)
- Upload the ZIP โ Most platforms export as a ZIP already โ drop it directly on the converter
- Download Markdown โ Each page becomes a
.mdfile with headings, lists, tables, and code blocks preserved
What's Preserved
- Heading hierarchy (h1โh6 โ # to ######)
- Tables (converted to GFM pipe tables)
- Code blocks with language hints where available
- Ordered and unordered lists (including nested)
- Bold, italic, and strikethrough formatting
- Links (href preserved as inline Markdown links)
What's Stripped
- Platform navigation and breadcrumbs
- Sidebar menus and table-of-contents widgets
- Inline styles and CSS classes
- Script tags and interactive elements
- Cookie banners and notification bars
- Comment sections and metadata blocks
Use Cases
- Feed to AI โ Load your team's knowledge base into ChatGPT, Claude, or a custom RAG system
- Migrate platforms โ Move from Confluence to a Git-based docs system (MkDocs, Docusaurus, GitBook)
- Create an Obsidian vault โ Import your wiki into Obsidian for personal knowledge management
- Archive โ Keep a portable, version-controllable copy of your documentation
Privacy
Your knowledge base content never leaves your device. The conversion is performed entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. No upload, no server processing, no data retention. Safe for internal and confidential documentation.
