[Feature request] - Reverse convert

[haskaalo]

For e.g <h1 id="hellomarkdown">hello, markdown!</h1>
Will return back # Hello markdown

What is the use case of this?

[projectitis]

Markdown is useful because it leaves the formatting/display up to the client. Example - you may be converting markdown to richtext to display within a mobile app, instead of displaying it as HTML as you would in a web app.

So a use case might be that you use a WYSIWYG editor to create HTML content via a web app. The content is then reverse converted to markdown and stored in the DB. When consumed/viewed, the same content is then either converted to HTML for display on web, or richtext for display in a mobile app (etc).

Was this already implemented and just hard to find? The repo description seems to indicate this functionality exists:

A bidirectional MD to HTML to MD converter written in Javascript

I just found it in tests. converter.makeMarkdown()

@tivie Is 2.0 out yet or when will it be? @OrkhanAlikhanov did you find that in tests but not available in source code?

converter.makeMarkdown()

Thanks
