Convert DocBook to Markdown.
Drop a DocBook XML file and get clean, structured Markdown in seconds. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
Drag & drop your files

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.
Structure
without the tags.
DocBook wraps every line in nested XML elements. Markdown keeps the same section and title hierarchy but drops the angle brackets, so the text is readable and reusable anywhere.
<section>
<title>Results</title>
<para>The new build runs faster.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>Faster</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</section>
# Results

Everything you
actually need.
DocBook XML in, clean Markdown out, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
The .docbook file is read and converted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.
# Heading
- point one
3 chunks
AI & RAG ready
Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.
Works offline
Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.
<section>
<title>Setup</title>
# Setup
Headings from titles
Each section title becomes a heading at the right depth, so the outline stays intact.
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.
What survives
the trip.
Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for DocBook, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
Kept
4- Section hierarchy
- Titles as headings
- Paragraphs
- Lists
Dropped
4- Inline markup
- Tables
- Figures
- Admonitions
