Which Markdown flavor does the converter support?

The converter supports CommonMark, the standardized Markdown specification. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) adds tables, task lists, and strikethrough on top of CommonMark.

Does the HTML output include a full page structure?

No. The converter outputs only the body fragment (the converted content), not a full HTML document with doctype, head, or body tags. Wrap the output in a document template if you need a standalone HTML file.

How do I preserve syntax highlighting in converted code blocks?

The converter outputs elements for fenced code blocks. Syntax highlighting requires a client-side library like Prism.js or highlight.js to process these class names.

Convert Markdown to HTML

Markdown is the preferred authoring format for technical content because it is readable as plain text while converting cleanly to HTML. This example shows all the common Markdown constructs — headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, code spans, fenced code blocks, links, images, and lists — converted to their HTML equivalents. The converter is useful for generating static HTML from Markdown content to embed in emails, CMS platforms, or documentation sites. Review the output to ensure your Markdown processor handles any extended syntax like tables and task lists.

Example

# Heading One

## Heading Two

A paragraph with **bold**, *italic*, and `inline code`.

### Code Block

```javascript
const greet = (name) => `Hello, ${name}!`;
console.log(greet('World'));
```

### List

- Item one
- Item two
  - Nested item
- Item three
