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.
