Notes on this conversion
RTF is an interchange format built around direct formatting: it describes text as bold, larger or centred rather than as a heading. Most RTF files therefore carry no style for the Markdown reader to turn into a heading level, and the output tends to be a sequence of paragraphs with the text intact and the outline missing. Files exported from a word processor that wrote real styles are the exception and come through with their levels. Tables and lists survive in either case; expect to add heading levels by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the output mostly paragraphs?
Because RTF usually marks headings by appearance rather than by style, and appearance carries no structure to read. The text is complete; the outline has to be added back.
Is any structure preserved at all?
Yes — lists and tables come through, and so do headings in files that were written with real styles rather than manual formatting.
Is RTF read directly?
No. It is converted to .docx first, and the Markdown is built from that, so anything the first step drops is gone before the Markdown is written.
