### Markdown version of product pages

Every product page has a clean markdown version at `<product-url>index.md`, e.g.:

```
https://www.pethardware.com/en/d-rings/d-ring-brass-sand-casting-5836/index.md
```

Product pages also support `Accept: text/markdown` content negotiation. To get the same markdown version of any product page, send:

```
GET https://www.pethardware.com/en/d-rings/d-ring-brass-sand-casting-5836/
Accept: text/markdown
```

The response will have `Content-Type: text/markdown` and contain structured product data (name, SKU, EAN, parameters, pricing, variants, images) without HTML markup.

HTML responses include a `Link` header pointing to the markdown alternate.

Default currency is determined by the URL language prefix (cs → CZK, de/fr/es → EUR, pl → PLN, en/ru → USD). Override it with the `?currency=CODE` query parameter, e.g.:

```
GET https://www.pethardware.com/en/d-rings/d-ring-brass-sand-casting-5836/?currency=EUR
Accept: text/markdown
```

Supported currency codes: CZK, EUR, USD, PLN, GBP, CAD. The `?currency=` parameter changes only the currency. VAT display and the final tax amount depend on the delivery country and the billing and VAT details entered at checkout.

Common product parameters include:
