Website to Markdown tool simplifies RAG data prep

A developer has outlined a two-step process for preparing website content for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to improve data quality. The first step involves using a tool like the Website to Markdown Actor to crawl a website, extract only the main content while stripping extraneous elements like navigation and footers, and convert it into clean Markdown. The second step focuses on chunking this Markdown content structurally by headings, ensuring each chunk represents a coherent section and includes metadata such as the source URL and heading path for better retrieval and citation.
