What is supported

`md-anything` uses three support levels:

• strong: works well out of the box
• best-effort: useful, but quality depends on content and local tools
• optional: requires extra tools or an opt-in remote fallback

Input	Support	Notes
.txt, .md, .markdown, .json, .html, .htm	strong	Native or straightforward extraction
http:// / https:// URLs	strong	Fetch + HTML extraction
.pdf	strong	unpdf by default, pdftotext can improve some files
YouTube URLs	best-effort	Transcript-first, honest fallback when unavailable
