Convert Markdown to HTML
HTML tags typed in the Markdown are shown as text, and javascript: links are removed, so the output is safe to paste into a page.
Turn a README, notes or a post written in Markdown into HTML you can paste into a CMS, an email template or a web page. Check the result in the preview before you copy it.

How It Works
Convert Markdown in three steps.
Paste Markdown
A README, a note, a blog draft or a chat answer.
Check the preview
Switch between the HTML code and a rendered preview.
Copy or download
Copy the HTML fragment or download a complete .html page.
Which Markdown does this support?
The converter follows GitHub-flavoured Markdown, the variant used by GitHub, GitLab and most documentation tools. It covers headings (# and underlined), bold, italic and strikethrough, inline code and fenced code blocks with a language, links, images, bare URLs, nested and numbered lists, task lists, blockquotes, tables with column alignment, horizontal rules and line breaks. Reference-style links ([text][1]) and footnotes are not supported.
The HTML fragment has no styles; it takes the look of the page you paste it into. The downloaded .html file adds a few basic styles so it reads well on its own.
Code blocks
```js blocks get class="language-js", so syntax highlighters such as Prism or highlight.js pick them up.
Tables
Pipe tables with :--- alignment become <table> elements with align attributes.
Task lists
- [x] items become disabled checkboxes, as on GitHub.
Safe output
Raw HTML is escaped and javascript: links become #, so pasted content cannot run scripts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions people ask about the Markdown to HTML converter.
For safety, HTML typed inside the Markdown is escaped instead of passed through. Add the tag to the converted HTML afterwards if you need it.
Write a header row with pipes, a separator row of dashes and then the rows: | Name | Age |, then | --- | --- |, then | Ana | 31 |. Add colons to the dashes to align columns.
In Markdown, a single line break inside a paragraph is treated as a space. End the line with two spaces or a backslash for a <br>, or leave an empty line to start a new paragraph.
Yes, with the HTML to Markdown tool. Simple documents survive the round trip unchanged.
