What is Markdown to HTML?

Markdown to HTML parses Markdown syntax — # for headings, ** for bold, - for list items, fenced ``` code blocks, links, and tables — and emits the equivalent semantic HTML tags. A live preview shows the rendered result next to the generated markup. It supports common Markdown plus GitHub-flavored extras such as tables and task lists, so the output matches what you see on GitHub or in most static-site generators, ready to drop into a blog, docs page, or email template.

Specifications

Input flavor	CommonMark + GitHub-flavored Markdown
Output	Semantic HTML (h1–h6, p, ul/ol, a, code, table…)
Extras	Tables and task lists supported
Preview	Live rendered preview alongside the HTML

Tips & gotchas

It supports common Markdown plus GitHub-flavored syntax (GFM), so tables and task lists convert too.
Copy the generated HTML straight into your CMS or template; if the CMS strips classes, the semantic tags still carry the structure.
A blank line separates paragraphs in Markdown — without it, two lines may be joined into one <p>.
Indent nested list items by two or four spaces so they nest correctly instead of becoming separate lists.

Frequently asked questions

Which Markdown features are supported?+

Common Markdown plus GitHub-flavored extras such as tables and task lists, so output matches what you see on GitHub.

Why did two lines merge into one paragraph?+

In Markdown a single line break does not start a new paragraph — you need a blank line between blocks. Add an empty line, or end the first line with two trailing spaces for a soft break.

Can I paste the HTML into WordPress or another CMS?+

Yes. The output is standard semantic HTML. Paste it into the HTML/code view of your editor; the headings, lists, and links are preserved even if the theme restyles them.

Does it keep my code blocks intact?+

Yes. Fenced code blocks and inline code are wrapped in <pre>/<code> so they render as code rather than being parsed as Markdown.
