Why Markdown to HTML Conversion Matters
Markdown is the writing format of choice for READMEs, documentation, blog drafts, and notes — it's fast to write and easy to read in plain text. But websites, CMSs, and emails need HTML. Converting between the two by hand is tedious and error-prone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion done on a server?
No — everything runs locally in your browser via a lightweight JavaScript converter. Nothing is uploaded.
Can I use the generated HTML directly in my website?
Yes — copy the HTML output and paste it into your CMS, email template, or static site.
Does it support tables and nested lists?
The converter focuses on the most common Markdown elements (headings, emphasis, links, lists, quotes, code). For advanced nested structures, double-check the rendered output before publishing.
