What XML formats are supported?

Any valid XML document is supported, including configuration files (web.config, pom.xml), sitemaps, RSS feeds, and custom XML schemas.

How are nested elements displayed?

Nested elements are shown as indented list items, with each level of nesting adding indentation to clearly show the document hierarchy.

What are the attribute brackets?

When "Show element attributes" is enabled, attributes appear in italicized brackets after the tag name, like: ** ** _[attr="value"]_

Can I convert sitemaps?

Yes! Load the sitemap sample to see how XML sitemaps convert to markdown. Each URL entry becomes a list item with its properties.

What happens with invalid XML?

The tool validates XML syntax and displays a clear error message if the document is malformed, helping you identify and fix issues.

When should I use code block format?

Use code block format when you want to preserve the exact XML structure with syntax highlighting, ideal for technical documentation showing raw XML.
