About Markdown to HTML

Markdown is pleasant to write and most systems want HTML. This converts one to the other, handling the parts that trip up naive converters: tables, fenced code, nested lists and links with titles. Free, no sign up, no upload: the Markdown is rendered online in the page you are already reading.

How to use it

  1. Write or paste MarkdownCommonMark plus the GitHub extensions people expect.
  2. Check the rendered resultThe preview is produced from the same conversion as the HTML below it, so what you read is what the markup will render.
  3. Copy the HTMLReady for a CMS field, an email template or a static page.

Which Markdown, exactly

There is no single Markdown. CommonMark fixed the ambiguities in the original description, and the GitHub extensions added tables, task lists, strikethrough and automatic links on top. This follows CommonMark with those extensions, which is what most people mean and what most destinations accept.

Why the output has no classes

Markdown describes structure, not presentation, so the HTML it becomes is a heading, a list, a paragraph — with no styling hooks attached. That is the right output for a CMS or a template that brings its own stylesheet, and it means the same Markdown looks native wherever it lands.

What it does not do

  • Raw HTML inside Markdown is passed through rather than escaped, which is what most authors want and is worth knowing if the Markdown came from somewhere untrusted.
  • The output is semantic HTML with no classes or inline styles. It inherits whatever stylesheet the destination applies.
  • Line-break behaviour differs between flavours. A single newline is a space in CommonMark and a line break in some editors, so a document written for one can reflow in the other.

Questions people ask

Are tables and fenced code blocks supported?
Yes. Both are GitHub-flavoured extensions rather than original Markdown, and both are converted, along with task lists and strikethrough.
Can I paste the result straight into a CMS?
Usually. The output is plain semantic HTML, so an editor that accepts an HTML source view will take it. An editor that only accepts its own rich-text format may strip some elements.
