The Problem

Google Docs turns your markdown into a wall of plain text

You copy a nicely formatted response from ChatGPT or Claude, paste it into Google Docs, and every heading, bold word, and table vanishes. You’re left staring at raw asterisks and hash marks.

What works in Google Docs

Honest breakdown of what transfers and what doesn't.

Headings H1–H3

Full support

Render with correct hierarchy and sizing. Mapped to Google Docs’ built-in heading styles so they appear in the document outline.

Bold, italic & inline code

Full support

Bold, italic, and bold+italic all render correctly. Inline code appears in monospace with a light gray background.

Links

Full support

Render as clickable, underlined, blue text, exactly like native Google Docs links.

Tables

Full support

Render with borders, header row, and data rows. Bold text inside cells is preserved. Column alignment is not supported.

Lists & nesting

Full support

Unordered, ordered, and mixed nested lists render properly up to 3 levels deep with correct indentation.

Code blocks

Partial support

Render in monospace font, but lines appear separately without a containing background box. No syntax highlighting.

Strikethrough

Not supported

Google Docs ignores the <del> tag and text-decoration CSS. Strikethrough text appears as normal unstyled text.

Headings H4–H6

Partial support

All appear as bold text at the same size with no visual distinction from each other or from bold body text.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. Tables paste with borders, a header row, and properly structured data cells. Bold text inside cells is preserved. The one limitation is that column alignment (left/center/right) is ignored, so all content appears left-aligned.

Code blocks render in monospace font and preserve indentation, but each line appears as a separate element without a containing background box. There’s no syntax highlighting, so code appears as plain monospace text.

Yes. H1, H2, and H3 are mapped to Google Docs’ built-in heading styles, so they appear in the document outline (sidebar) with correct hierarchy. H4–H6 render as bold body text and won’t appear in the outline.

Google Docs ignores the text-decoration CSS property on pasted content. This is a Google Docs limitation that affects all clipboard pastes, not just Unmarkdown™. We’ve tested multiple HTML approaches and none work.

No. Unmarkdown™ runs 100% in your browser. Your markdown is converted locally and copied to your clipboard. Nothing is ever sent to any server.

Yes. Any tool that outputs markdown works: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and more. Just paste the markdown into Unmarkdown™, click “Google Docs”, and paste the result.
