02 Conversion Logic Workflow
1
DOM Parsing
The input string is parsed into a transient in-memory DOM tree to resolve semantic relationships and nesting depths.
2
Filter Application
Sanitization rules identify and remove scripts, styles, and empty wrapper elements (div/span soup).
3
Markdown Serialization
The cleaned tree is recursively traversed to emit the equivalent GFM tokens with consistent spacing and line breaks.
