About the Markdown to HTML Converter
This tool converts Markdown to HTML, producing clean semantic markup: headings become heading tags, lists become list elements, and fenced code becomes pre and code blocks. Output is ready to paste into a page or CMS.
Convert Markdown to HTML when content written in Markdown has to be published somewhere that expects markup. A CMS field, an email template, a static page or a system with no Markdown support all need the HTML rather than the source.
The output is semantic rather than div soup: headings map to h1 through h6, lists to ul, ol and li, emphasis to em and strong, and fenced code to pre wrapping code. That matters for both accessibility and SEO, since heading structure is how a screen reader and a crawler understand a page.
Tables convert to real table markup with header cells, which is the element most people would otherwise hand-write and get wrong. Writing in Markdown and converting keeps the source readable and diffable while the published output stays proper HTML.

Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown features are supported?
The core syntax — headings, emphasis, lists, links, images, blockquotes and inline code — plus two extensions: pipe tables and fenced code blocks.
Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown?
Only partly. Tables and fenced code blocks work, but GFM extras such as task list checkboxes, strikethrough and automatic URL linking are not enabled, so those come through as literal text.
Does it add syntax highlighting to code blocks?
No. Code blocks become plain pre and code elements without highlighting classes, so apply highlighting on your own page with Prism, highlight.js or similar.
Is the generated HTML good for SEO?
It is semantic, which is the part that matters: headings become real heading elements and lists become real lists, so crawlers and screen readers get the structure. Styling is left to your stylesheet.
Is my Markdown uploaded?
Yes, the conversion runs on our server, so the document is sent there and is not retained afterwards.
