How it works
Formatting mode normalizes common heading and list markers, line endings, trailing spaces, and blank lines. Plain mode removes common visible Markdown syntax.
Understanding the result
Formatting fixes common marker spacing and excessive blank lines; plain mode removes common Markdown notation.
Practical example
Tidy a README excerpt or extract readable copy from a Markdown draft before pasting it into another editor.
Limitations
This lightweight utility is not a full Markdown parser. Complex nested syntax, tables, and extensions may require manual review.
