Know what the transform handles

The tool keeps link labels, image alt text, and code contents. It removes selected common markers rather than parsing every Markdown construct.

Remove a heading and bold markers

The simple example keeps the words and paragraph break. More complex formatting needs a manual review.

# Project notes

A **clearer** first draft.

Review complex content manually

Nested links, tables, raw HTML, and unusual emphasis can need manual cleanup. This tool is a best-effort text transform and does not sanitize HTML.
