About this conversion
Convert Markdown to HTML to publish, share, or preview the rendered output. Markdown is the lingua franca of dev docs, READMEs, and notes; HTML is what browsers actually render. The conversion produces clean semantic HTML you can drop into a webpage, email, or CMS.
When this conversion is useful
- Publishing a Markdown blog post to a CMS that expects HTML
- Sharing a formatted document with someone who doesn't read Markdown source
- Generating preview HTML for documentation before deploying
- Pasting formatted content into rich-text editors that accept HTML
Quality and tradeoffs
Output uses standard CommonMark + GFM (tables, fenced code, task lists). The HTML is fragment-only by default — wrap it in `<!DOCTYPE html><html>…` if you want a complete standalone document. Inline styles aren't injected; the rendered look depends on your CSS.
Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown flavour does this support?
CommonMark with GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions: tables, fenced code blocks with language tags, task lists, and autolinks.
Why doesn't my HTML look styled?
Markdown only carries structure (headings, paragraphs, links). Visual style comes from CSS in your hosting context. Add a stylesheet, or use a documentation theme.
Can I include raw HTML in my Markdown?
Yes. Inline HTML in a Markdown document passes through to the output unchanged, which is handy for things Markdown doesn't natively express.
