Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown syntax does the converter support?

The converter supports standard CommonMark syntax including headings, bold, italic, unordered and ordered lists, blockquotes, inline code and code blocks, links, images, and horizontal rules. GitHub Flavored Markdown tables and task lists are also supported.

Is my Markdown content sent to a server?

No. The conversion is performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your Markdown text never leaves your device and is not sent to any server, making it safe to use with sensitive or confidential content.

Can I copy the output HTML directly into my website?

Yes. The generated HTML is clean, semantic markup suitable for direct use in any website or content management system. You may want to wrap it in a container element and apply your own CSS styles, but the HTML structure itself is ready to use.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

We support all standard CommonMark syntax: headings (#), bold (**), italic (*), links, images, blockquotes (>), ordered and unordered lists, inline code (`), fenced code blocks (```), horizontal rules (---), and GFM tables.

Can I use this for blog posts?

Yes. Write your blog post in Markdown, convert to HTML, and paste the HTML into your CMS. Markdown is much faster to write than raw HTML and the converter handles all the formatting.

Is the conversion accurate?

Our converter follows CommonMark specification closely. For edge cases or complex nested structures, always review the HTML output before using in production.

From Markdown to HTML

Markdown lets you write formatted text with plain characters: # for headings, ** for bold and - for lists. It is used in README files, documentation, forums, note apps and static site generators. This converter turns Markdown into clean HTML with a live preview, ready to paste into a CMS, an email template or a web page.

Syntax reference

Headings: # Title and ## Section, down to six levels.
Emphasis: *italic* and **bold**.
Links: [text](https://example.com).
Lists: start lines with - or 1., and indent to nest them.
Code: single backticks for inline code, and three backticks on their own lines for a code block.
Tables: separate columns with | and put a --- line under the header row.

Things that trip people up

Line breaks. A single line break inside a paragraph is ignored. Leave a blank line to start a new paragraph.
Different flavours. Tables, task lists and strikethrough come from GitHub Flavored Markdown, not the original syntax, so some platforms do not support them.
Raw HTML. Markdown allows HTML inside it. If you publish Markdown written by other people, clean the HTML output so nobody can inject scripts.

HTML for emails

If the HTML is going into an email, keep it simple. Many email clients ignore stylesheets, so headings, paragraphs, lists and links are the safest elements to use.
