Optimize for AI & RAG

Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.

Add YAML front matter

Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.

Add table of contents

Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.

Export RAG chunks (.json)

Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.

Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.

01Why

Tags out,
text in.

A DITA topic wraps your content in XML tags and specialized elements. Converting peels those away and leaves the titles, paragraphs and lists as plain, readable Markdown.

# Topic

### Subsection

Topic structure

Topic and section titles nest into a clean heading hierarchy.

éñü

Unicode safe

Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.

Free, and unlimited

No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.

03Fidelity

What survives
the trip.

Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for DITA, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
