How do I get the HTML from a GitHub Wiki page?
Open the GitHub Wiki page → right-click → 'View Page Source' (or Ctrl+U / Cmd+U). Find the <article class='markdown-body'> element and copy its inner HTML. Alternatively, use the GitHub API: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees to list wiki files, then fetch individual pages.
Why would I need to convert GitHub Wiki HTML back to Markdown?
Sometimes the original Markdown files are lost (repo deleted, corrupted clone). The rendered HTML is available via the web interface and can be converted back to approximate Markdown.
Does this preserve GitHub-Flavored Markdown features like task lists?
Task lists (<input type='checkbox'>) convert to GFM task list syntax (- [ ] and - [x]). Fenced code blocks with language hints are preserved. Strikethrough and tables are also handled.
