# Markdown to Email Formatter

Convert Markdown into an email-ready HTML draft with a plain-text fallback in
depapel. Paste Markdown into the editor, switch to the email preview, and copy
the final result into Gmail, Outlook, or another email composer.

## How it works

1. Paste Markdown, upload a file, or load a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket file
   URL.
2. Open the email preview.
3. Review the subject suggestion and any renderer notes.
4. Copy the rich email HTML or the plain-text fallback into your email client.

## What depapel preserves

- Headings, paragraphs, bullets, numbering, and blockquotes.
- Links, inline code, and code blocks with conservative inline styling.
- A plain-text fallback from the same Markdown source.
- Deterministic review notes when tables, images, or unsupported HTML appear.

## Important boundary

depapel formats the email body and gives you copy buttons. It does not send
directly through Gmail or Outlook. The output is aimed at a conservative paste
workflow that can be tested across major email compose surfaces.

## Route-specific proof

The tracked `copy-route-launch-update` sample shows the exact rich email HTML
and plain-text fallback depapel prepares from one Markdown source before you
paste into Gmail or Outlook.

- [Rich email HTML proof](https://depapel.ginylil.com/proof/copy-route-email.html)
- [Plain-text fallback](https://depapel.ginylil.com/proof/copy-route-email.txt)

What this proof shows:

- The first heading becomes the subject suggestion `Launch update`.
- The table stays in the HTML output for rich-email review.
- The same Markdown also produces a plain-text fallback for safer paste paths.

Renderer notes:

- Document-only depapel controls are removed before the email output is built.
- Tables stay in the email HTML, but still need a Gmail or Outlook paste check.
- Linked images stay in the HTML output, but should be verified after paste.

## Markdown to email questions

### How does depapel turn Markdown into an email?

depapel maps Markdown into conservative email HTML with inline styles plus a
plain-text fallback. Headings, paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, links, and code
stay structured, while unsupported HTML is simplified before you copy.

### Does depapel send directly to Gmail or Outlook?

No. depapel formats the email body and gives you copy buttons. You still paste
the result into Gmail, Outlook, or another email composer yourself.

### What survives in the rich email HTML?

Headings, paragraphs, bullets, numbering, blockquotes, links, inline code, and
code blocks survive in the rich email HTML. Tables and images stay in the HTML
too, but you should review them after paste because email clients handle them
unevenly.

### Why is there a plain-text email option too?

Plain text is useful when you need the safest paste path, when a recipient
prefers text-only mail, or when your email client strips or rewrites HTML.
depapel gives you both formats from the same Markdown source.

### Is this Outlook-only email HTML?

No. depapel targets a generic email paste workflow first so the same HTML can
be tested in Gmail and Outlook. It uses conservative inline styling rather than
an Outlook-only template.
