About this tool

Markdown is easy to write and awkward to publish anywhere that expects HTML: a CMS field, an email template, a legacy page. This converts between them and shows the rendered result at the same time, so you can confirm the structure before you paste it anywhere.

The output is plain semantic HTML with no wrapper divs and no classes, which means it inherits whatever styles the destination already has.

Semantic, classless output is the right default for exactly this reason: a heading comes out as an h2, a list as a ul, a quote as a blockquote, and nothing dictates how they look. The page you paste into supplies the styling, so the same converted block fits a documentation site and an email without being touched.

A few details

  • Blank lines are structural in Markdown. A list or a paragraph that runs together without the blank line between blocks often renders as one run-on element, which is the most common surprise in the output.
  • Indent code by wrapping it in triple backticks rather than spaces when you can. Fenced blocks are unambiguous; space-indented ones are easy to break by a stray tab.
  • Because raw HTML is escaped, this is a safe way to convert text you did not write. Pasted content cannot smuggle a script tag through into the preview.

How it works

  1. 1Paste or write your Markdown.
  2. 2Watch the rendered preview update as you type.
  3. 3Copy the HTML output.

Frequently asked

Which Markdown features are supported?

Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes and horizontal rules. That covers the great majority of real documents.

Is raw HTML in the Markdown passed through?

No, it is escaped and shown as text. That is deliberate: passing raw HTML through would let pasted content inject markup into the preview.

Are tables supported?

Not currently. Tables are a GitHub extension rather than part of core Markdown.

Does the output include styling?

No. It is semantic HTML with no classes or inline styles, so it picks up whatever CSS exists where you paste it.

Why does my converted HTML look unstyled?

Because it is: the output carries no CSS by design. It looks plain in a bare preview and takes on the destination's styles once pasted into a real page.
