About the Markdown to HTML

Paste Markdown and get the HTML it renders to — no build step, no static site generator, no paste into a CMS and hope. The output is plain semantic HTML with no wrapper divs and no class attributes, so it drops into any page and inherits its styles.

The supported syntax is the one people write: ATX and setext headings, bold, italic, strikethrough and inline code, links and images with optional titles, nested ordered and unordered lists, task lists with checkboxes, blockquotes, horizontal rules, fenced code blocks with a language class, and GitHub-flavoured tables with column alignment. Code inside fences and spans is escaped rather than interpreted, so a snippet containing angle brackets shows as written.

Key features of the Markdown to HTML

Live preview beside the code

The rendered result is shown next to the HTML, so you can confirm it looks right before copying anything.

Tables and task lists

GitHub-flavoured tables with column alignment, and checkbox task lists, both render the way they do on GitHub.

Code is escaped, not run

Angle brackets inside a fence or a code span show as written rather than becoming markup.

No classes to fight

Apart from the language class syntax highlighters need, the HTML is plain and inherits your page styles.

Optional heading ids

Add slug ids to headings so the document has working anchor links wherever you paste it.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. A block that starts with an HTML tag is passed through untouched, which is how Markdown has always handled it and what makes badges and custom blocks work.
