Notes on this conversion
Plain text carries no structure, so the only thing available is the shape of the lines themselves. Blank lines separate paragraphs, and a short line standing alone above a block is treated as a heading — the same reading a person would give it. Characters that would otherwise start a Markdown block, such as a leading hash or dash, are escaped so the original text is preserved rather than silently reinterpreted. This is the least certain of the Markdown conversions, because the guess is all there is.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it decide something is a heading?
By line shape: a short line on its own, without sentence punctuation, followed by a block of text. It is a heuristic, so review the result on documents where headings matter.
Will a line starting with a dash become a list?
A leading dash in the original text is escaped so it stays literal. What the file said is what the Markdown says.
Is the original wording changed?
No. Only structural characters are escaped; the words, order and line breaks within a paragraph are left as they were.
