Convert XML files to readable Markdown
Validate a local XML file and convert it into a Markdown document with a formatted, fenced XML block.
Markdown Lens checks that the XML is well-formed, then rebuilds a readable representation without sending the file to a server.
Local browser processing. No document upload.

Questions about XML
Does it fetch remote DTDs or entities?
No. Conversion stays local and is intended for well-formed XML documents, not network-backed entity expansion.
Is the XML uploaded?
No. Validation and formatting happen in the browser.
