Why Convert Markdown to HTML?
Markdown is widely used for writing content in a readable plain-text format — in README files, documentation, blog posts and CMS platforms. Converting to HTML lets you paste the output directly into a web page, email newsletter or any system that requires raw HTML markup.
Many static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo and Eleventy use Markdown under the hood and generate HTML automatically. This tool lets you see what that output looks like without running a build process.
GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)
GFM extends standard Markdown with tables, task lists (- [x]), strikethrough (~~text~~) and fenced code blocks with syntax hints. All GFM features are supported in this converter.
