there is a global function htmlToMarkdown for this.

github.com

obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/38bd84fd66b6bf59d2eab243f27e33d3031ca51c/obsidian.d.ts#L1423

      
        
                 * @public

                 */

                constructor(parent: HoverParent, targetEl: HTMLElement | null, waitTime?: number);

            
            
}

            

            /**

             * Converts HTML to Markdown using Turndown Service.

             * @public

             */

            export function htmlToMarkdown(html: string): string;

            

            /**

             * @public

             */

            export interface Instruction {

                /** @public */

                command: string;

                /** @public */

                purpose: string;

            }

This does use Turndown in the background, but makes sure that you have the correct configuration.
