feat(convert): improve HTML-to-Markdown conversion quality#79
Merged
Conversation
Fix critical conversion issues: - Links: proper [text](href) format instead of broken ](href) - Tables: convert to markdown tables with header separator - Images: emit  instead of discarding - Ordered lists: use 1. 2. 3. numbering instead of all bullets - Definition lists: <dl>/<dt>/<dd> support - Entities: expand from ~10 to 40+ named entities (trade, bull, hellip, smart quotes, currency symbols, arrows, etc.) - Whitespace: preserve indentation for nested list rendering Closes #73

What
Major improvements to HTML→Markdown conversion — fix broken links, add tables, images, ordered lists, definition lists, and expand entity support.
Why
Current conversion quality is too low for agents that need to understand page structure. Broken links and missing tables lose critical information.
How
</a>wrap collected text in[text](href). Empty text uses autolink<href>format.|separators and header separator row.from<img>tags.(is_ordered, counter)tuples. Ordered items get1.,2., etc.<dt>→**term**,<dd>→: definitionclean_whitespace()now preserves indentation after newlines for proper nested list rendering.No new external dependencies — all custom implementation.
