Questions about this tool
What happens to unsupported tags like span and div?
The tag is dropped and its text kept, and a div becomes a line break.
How is <br> written?
As a backslash at the end of the line, the CommonMark hard line break.
Does it keep ordered list numbering?
Yes, and it honours the start attribute, so start="5" numbers from 5.
