Frequently asked questions
What does Markdown link extractor do?
Pull all the links out of Markdown text. Paste the text or drop the file; nothing leaves the page either way.
When would I actually use this?
Making a machine-generated blob readable, finding the character where a parse fails, and shrinking a file before it ships.
What is the most common mistake?
Assuming valid means correct. A document can parse cleanly and still have the wrong shape for whatever will read it — validation checks the syntax, not the schema.
How is Markdown link extractor different from JSON keys extractor?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: JSON keys extractor is the one to open when you need it to list all the keys of a JSON object as dot-notation paths. Works on a pasted block or on a file you drop in. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
CSV to Markdown table is the closest one after this: Turn CSV into a Markdown table, quoting and all: a field may hold the delimiter, a line break or a pipe and the table still lines up. Comma, semicolon (French Excel), tab or pipe, detected or forced.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Markdown to HTML and Markdown Table Generator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Parsing and serialisation follow each format's specification. Key order and whitespace are not semantically meaningful in JSON or YAML, so a reformatted document is equivalent even when the bytes differ.
