Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed to be easy to read and write. It uses simple text formatting syntax that can be converted into HTML while remaining readable in its raw form.

How do I use this converter?

Simply type or paste your Markdown text into the left editor panel. The HTML output will automatically appear in the right panel. You can then copy the HTML or customize its styling.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

We support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) which includes basic formatting (bold, italic, lists), tables, code blocks with syntax highlighting, task lists, and more.

Can I preview how the HTML will look?

Yes, the live preview panel shows you exactly how your content will appear when rendered as HTML, including all styling and formatting.

Can I customize the HTML output?

Yes, you can add custom CSS classes, modify the output structure, and apply your own styling rules through the advanced options panel.

Does it support custom plugins?

Yes, you can enable various plugins for extended functionality like math equations (KaTeX), diagrams (Mermaid), and custom containers.

Can I export the generated HTML?

Yes, you can copy the HTML to clipboard, download it as a file, or export it with included CSS styles for complete formatting.

Is there an API available?

Yes, we offer an API for developers who want to integrate the Markdown to HTML conversion functionality into their applications.

Why isn't my table formatting correctly?

Ensure your table has the correct syntax with aligned columns using hyphens and pipes. Each column should have at least three hyphens in the separator row.

How do I fix code block highlighting?

Specify the language after the opening triple backticks (e.g., ```javascript) to enable proper syntax highlighting for your code blocks.

Why aren't my images showing up?

Check that your image URLs are correct and accessible. For local images, ensure you're using relative paths correctly or consider using absolute URLs.

What if my HTML output is unstyled?

Enable the 'Include Default Styles' option in the settings panel to add basic CSS styling to your HTML output, or add your own custom CSS.

Which browsers are supported?

Our converter works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend keeping your browser updated for the best experience.

Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?

While this tool focuses on Markdown to HTML conversion, we also offer a separate HTML to Markdown converter tool for reverse conversion needs.

Does it work with other Markdown flavors?

We primarily support GitHub Flavored Markdown, but also handle CommonMark and basic Markdown syntax. Some specialized flavors may have limited support.

Is the generated HTML responsive?

Yes, the generated HTML uses responsive design principles and will adapt to different screen sizes when proper CSS is applied.

Origins of Markdown

Markdown was created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz in 2004 as a simple way to write formatted text that would be easy to read in its raw form. It was inspired by existing conventions in email and bulletin board systems.

Evolution

GitHub's adoption of Markdown in 2008 led to the creation of GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), adding features like tables and task lists. This became a de facto standard for documentation in the software industry.
