Document formatter

Paste messy text — notes, AI chat output, Markdown, exported HTML — and get clean, structured HTML back: headings, lists, and tables restored by rules. It uses no AI to rewrite or summarize your prose. Plain-text formatting checks that letters and digits are retained; HTML cleanup removes unsafe or unsupported markup.

Gixo document formatter tool: paste plain text, Markdown, or HTML and get clean structured HTML back, marked free with no AI and verbatim guaranteed
Headings, lists, and tables are restored by rules. The plain-text path checks retained letters and digits; review sanitized HTML and converted Markdown after formatting.

How it restores structure

Three deterministic paths, chosen by what you paste, with a letter-and-digit retention check on the plain-text path.

HTML: cleaned, not mangled
Pasted HTML keeps its structure while scripts, styles, iframes, tracking attributes, and editor junk are stripped — only safe structural tags and attributes survive. Word and Google Docs exports come out readable.
Markdown: standards-based conversion
Markdown is detected by its signals (headings, fences, links, emphasis) and converted with a standards-based engine — raw HTML inside it is escaped, never passed through.
Plain text: the verbatim guarantee
Bullets (•, –, *), numbered lists, headings (short lines, ALL-CAPS, numbered prefixes), and tables (tabs, pipes, or aligned spacing) are rebuilt — then the plain-text output is checked for the same letters and digits as your input. If the check ever disagrees, the tool falls back to simple paragraphs rather than dropping a single word.

Why no AI is the feature

Gixo's document import used to run on an AI formatting pass — and we replaced it with this deterministic engine, because the AI version had a failure mode users couldn't see: long documents were silently truncated at the model's token limit, and "reformatting" occasionally meant rewording. A formatter must be a parser, not an author.

This formatter is part of the Quill workflow. It never calls a model, so there is nothing to hallucinate and no length limit measured in tokens. The structure-restore path reports which method produced your output and tells you when the verbatim check passed.

If what you actually need is the document written — not just formatted — that's Gixo's document workspaces: structured briefs, proposals, reports, and articles generated from your own files.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the document formatter fit into Quill?
It is a deterministic parser in the Quill content workflow. Use it to restore structure without rewriting your words, then keep editing, generating, and publishing in the same product journey.
Will it change my wording?
It does not use AI to rewrite your prose. The plain-text path checks that letters and digits are retained and falls back to simple paragraphs if that check disagrees. Markdown is converted and HTML is sanitized; unsupported or unsafe markup may be removed. Review the formatted result.
What can it detect in plain text?
Bulleted lists (•, –, —, *, →), numbered lists (with correct start numbers preserved), headings (short lines without terminal punctuation, ALL-CAPS lines, numbered prefixes like 2.1), and tables separated by tabs, pipes, or two-plus spaces with consistent column counts.
How large a document can I paste?
The formatter has a 500,000-character service ceiling, but its 256,000-byte request limit can bind first. It does not use a model or token-based truncation. Split large inputs if the request is refused.
