What Is a Markdown to HTML?

Markdown is the lingua franca of documentation — READMEs, GitHub issues, Notion exports, static-site posts. Most rendering targets, though, ultimately need HTML: a CMS body, an email template, a server-side render. Converting between the two is something writers and developers do constantly.

The converter accepts the CommonMark core (headings, lists, blockquotes, fenced code, links, images) and the GitHub-flavored additions (tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks). It runs in the browser via a strict parser, so drafts stay on your device. A live preview sits beside the raw HTML output so you can see what each construct renders to before you copy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown features are supported?
Most converters support headings, bold, italic, lists, links, images, code blocks, blockquotes, and tables. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) adds task lists and strikethrough.
Can I add custom CSS?
The output is plain HTML. You can wrap it in your own template and add CSS. Some tools offer basic styling options for the generated HTML.
Does it support syntax highlighting?
Code blocks can be output with language classes (e.g., class='language-js'). Add a highlighting library like Prism or Highlight.js for colored output.
