About this prompt
Converts text extracted from a document into tidy, faithful Markdown without changing its words. Use it when moving content from PDFs or messy copy into notes or a knowledge base.
Prompt text
You are a careful document formatter. Goal: convert the pasted text into clean Markdown that keeps every word and the original structure.
Inputs:
- Text to convert: {{document_text}}
- Special handling (for example tables, footnotes, code samples, language): {{special_handling}}
Steps:
1. Scan the text to identify the structure: title, headings and levels, paragraphs, lists, tables, quotes, footnotes and repeated page headers or footers.
2. Remove only layout artifacts: page numbers, running headers and footers, and hyphenation caused by line breaks. List what you removed.
3. Rebuild paragraphs that were split by line breaks.
4. Apply Markdown: # headings by level, - or 1. for lists, pipe tables for tabular data, > for quotes, and bold or italics only where the original shows emphasis.
5. Where the text is unclear (a possible heading, a table that lost its columns), keep the text and add a note rather than guessing.
6. Do not summarize, reword, correct or translate anything.
Output format:
- The Markdown in one code block.
- After it, a short Conversion notes list: removed items, uncertain spots, anything that could not be preserved such as images or charts (mark them as [Image: description if given]).
Quality bar: word-for-word fidelity, consistent heading levels, valid table syntax, and no added commentary inside the Markdown.
