Description
With the recent version of markdownify, the library no longer converts HTML content into proper Markdown. Instead, it often returns the original HTML as-is. This issue is especially noticeable when handling HTML extracted from PDFs, where the expected Markdown formatting is incorrect.

Done means the affected HTML is converted to proper Markdown and the regression is covered by a test.
