HTML output

The preview appears here as soon as you add some Markdown.

Raw HTML in your Markdown is shown as text, and unsafe links are removed.

Your text and files stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

Paste Markdown or open an .md file.
Choose a full HTML document or body markup only, and switch between the code and a preview.
Copy the HTML, or download it as a .html file.

When it helps

Moving a README or notes into a web page, a CMS or an email template.
Checking exactly what markup a piece of Markdown produces.
Creating a quick standalone page from text you wrote in Markdown.

What it does

Full document with a small embedded stylesheet, or body markup only.
Headings get ids, so links to sections work.
Tables, task lists, strikethrough, quotes and fenced code are converted.
Safe by design: raw HTML in the Markdown is escaped, and links that could run script are removed.

Good to know

Raw HTML you write inside Markdown is shown as text in the result, not passed through, which is what keeps the output safe. If you need your own HTML to survive, write it in the template that surrounds the output. Code is not colour-highlighted, and the full-document option uses one fixed light style.

Questions people ask

Is the HTML safe to publish?: The converter escapes raw HTML and removes javascript:, data: and similar links, so the output does not carry script from the source. You are still responsible for the page you put it in.
What is the difference between full document and body only?: A full document is a complete .html file with a head, a title and a small stylesheet. Body only is just the converted markup, ready to paste into an existing page.
Do headings get anchors?: They get an id built from the heading text, so a link like #installation can point to them.
Does it upload my text?: No. The conversion runs in your browser and the text never leaves your device.
