Markdown to HTML
Convert Markdown to HTML
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Markdown to HTML?
Paste Markdown text and the converter produces clean HTML. # Heading becomes <h1>, **bold** becomes <strong>, [link](url) becomes <a href>. The output is ready to embed in web pages.
Does the converter support GitHub Flavored Markdown?
Yes. GFM extensions are supported: tables (pipe syntax), task lists (- [x]), strikethrough (~~text~~), fenced code blocks with language hints, and autolinked URLs. These are converted to their HTML equivalents.
Can I include custom CSS with the HTML output?
The converter outputs semantic HTML without inline styles. You can wrap it in your own CSS. A "copy with styles" option includes a default stylesheet that produces clean, readable typography.
How are code blocks converted?
Fenced code blocks (```) become <pre><code> elements with a language class: <code class="language-javascript">. This is compatible with syntax highlighting libraries like Prism.js and highlight.js.
Is the HTML output sanitized?
Yes. The converter sanitizes output to prevent XSS attacks. Raw HTML in Markdown is escaped by default. You can enable raw HTML passthrough if you trust the source content, but this is disabled by default for security.
