What it's for
This tool converts Markdown text to HTML right in your browser — useful for generating HTML snippets from notes, documentation, blog posts written in Markdown, or for quickly checking how a .md file would render.
Supported syntax
Headers: # H1 through ###### H6. Bold: **text** or __text__. Italic: *text* or _text_. Links: [text](url). Unordered lists: lines starting with -, * or +. Ordered lists: lines starting with 1., 2. etc. Inline code: `code`. Code blocks: fenced with triple backticks. Blockquotes: lines starting with >. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
What this converter doesn't do
This is a basic Markdown parser built for the most common cases. It doesn't implement tables, footnotes, extended Markdown (full GFM) or raw HTML embedded within Markdown — for advanced needs, consider a dedicated library.
Frequently asked questions
Does the preview show rendered HTML or the code?
The preview shows how the content would look visually rendered (headers, bold, lists, etc.), while the generated HTML box shows the source code, ready to copy.
Does this tool support Markdown tables?
No, this is a basic Markdown implementation focused on the most common elements (headers, emphasis, lists, links, code and blockquotes). Markdown tables aren't supported.
Can I use raw HTML inside the Markdown?
Not recommended — HTML tags typed directly into the input will be treated as plain text and escaped in the output, not interpreted as HTML.
Is my Markdown sent to any server?
No, all conversion happens locally in your browser, with no external libraries.
