How to save a WordPress post as portable Markdown
A Markdown version helps with editing, archiving or an authorized content handoff. The goal is to preserve the selected post's substance and structure without carrying over the entire website layout.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- selected readable article text from a WordPress page.
- The intended result
- Readable article content as Markdown.
How the workflow works.
Keep headings, lists, links and readable code in order. Separate the article from navigation, comments and promotional elements according to the scope you choose.
What to check in the result.
Preview the document and compare important formatting with the original post. Embedded or interactive content may need separate treatment, and a selected export is not a backup of the site.
Preview the Markdown to check headings, lists and links as well as the words. Keep source references with the document so a reviewer can trace important statements back to the material you supplied.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable Markdown example shows one possible organization of the result. Read it alongside the source example and notice which statements are recorded facts, proposed wording or questions still needing an answer.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.

- Open the source you want to work with and activate WebAct on that tab.
- Copy the task from the hero, add any required fields or preferences, and review the proposed actions.
- Compare the first result with your source. Ask for a specific correction or refinement where needed.
