Optimize for AI & RAG

Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.

Add YAML front matter

Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.

Add table of contents

Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.

Export RAG chunks (.json)

Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.

Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.

01Why

A man page,
read anywhere.

A .scd file is a simple man-page source. Converting takes the first line as a title and turns its emphasis into portable Markdown you can read in any editor.

SCDmyprog.scd

myprog(1)

We use *bold* and _italic_ text.

MDmyprog.md

# myprog(1)

We use **bold** and *italic* text.

02Features

Everything you
actually need.

A .scd man page in, plain Markdown out, with no server and no account anywhere.

It never leaves your browser

The .scd file is read and converted on your own device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.

local
SCDmyprog.scd

# Heading

- point one

3 chunks

AI & RAG ready

Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.

Works offline

Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.

# myprog(1)

We use **bold** and *italic*

Title and emphasis

The first line becomes the heading, and bold and italic emphasis carry over.

éñü

Unicode safe

Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.

Free, and unlimited

No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.

03Fidelity

What survives
the trip.

Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for scdoc, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
