How EPUB Handles MD Data
A/B testing confirms that Xonvert's Markdown Document to EPUB eBook output is indistinguishable from reference-quality conversions produced by leading desktop software. The WebAssembly engine uses identical codec libraries. Plain text with simple formatting: # headings, bold, *italic* ZIP archive containing XHTML content, CSS styles and images These technical characteristics influence how quality is preserved during conversion. For document-to-ebook conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both Markdown Document and EPUB eBook. Cross-category conversions require additional adaptation, which Xonvert handles automatically.
