The converter rewrites Markdown headings into reStructuredText underline headings, converts inline Markdown links into RST links, and turns fenced code blocks into RST literal blocks with indentation.
Lines that are not recognized as headings, inline links, or fenced code block delimiters are passed through. Use the output as a migration draft for documentation, then review tables, images, directives, and project-specific markup manually.
Common questions and answers about this topic.
reStructuredText (rst) is a lightweight markup language commonly used in Python documentation and Sphinx-based projects.
The converter rewrites Markdown headings, inline links, and fenced code blocks. Other lines, including many list, table, and image patterns, are preserved rather than deeply transformed, so review complex documents manually after conversion.
Common use cases include setting up Sphinx or ReadTheDocs documentation projects that require reStructuredText format.
No, the Markdown to reStructuredText conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your document is processed locally — nothing leaves your device.
