What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight plain-text format for writing structured documents. A few simple characters (for example # for a heading or - for a list item) produce semantic HTML when converted. It is widely used for documentation, README files, knowledge bases, and business and technical writing.

How Markdown converts to HTML

A Markdown parser reads the plain-text source and emits semantic HTML elements: # Heading becomes <h1>Heading</h1>, a dash list becomes <ul>, and so on. This tool then sanitizes the HTML to remove scripts and unsafe content before preview and export.

Common Markdown syntax

# Heading 1
## Heading 2

**bold** and _italic_
~~strikethrough~~

- unordered list
- [x] task list item

1. ordered list

[link text](https://example.com)
![alt text](image-url)

> blockquote

```typescript
const x = 1;
```

| Col A | Col B |
| ----- | ----- |
| cell  | cell  |

Why a browser-based converter is useful

Browser-based conversion keeps your content on your device. There is no upload, no server-side processing, and no account. It is a practical choice for drafts that contain internal or sensitive information, and for teams that need a fast, no-setup tool.

How to export clean standalone HTML

  1. Write or paste Markdown, or load a .md file.
  2. Review the rendered preview.
  3. Choose Standalone in the export settings and set a document title.
  4. Click Download standalone HTML to get a complete document with embedded CSS and no scripts.

Frequently asked questions

What Markdown features are supported?
Common Markdown plus GitHub Flavored Markdown: headings, paragraphs, bold and italic, ordered and unordered lists, task lists, links, images, blockquotes, horizontal rules, inline code, fenced code blocks with language labels, tables, and strikethrough.
Is the generated HTML safe to publish?
The output is sanitized to remove scripts, event handlers, iframes, embedded objects, and unsafe URL schemes before preview and export. External links get rel="noopener noreferrer" and target="_blank" automatically.
What is the difference between standalone and fragment export?
Standalone HTML is a complete document with a UTF-8 declaration, semantic structure, embedded CSS for readable typography, and print-friendly styles. Fragment export is just the rendered body HTML for embedding in your own template.
Are external CSS files or web fonts included?
No. The standalone export uses only embedded CSS and a system font stack. There are no external CSS dependencies, no external fonts, and no scripts.
Is my Markdown uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing, rendering, and export all happen in your browser. Your Markdown content never leaves your device.
