Frequently Asked Questions
- How does a Markdown to HTML converter work?
- A Markdown to HTML converter parses plain-text Markdown syntax (like **bold**, # heading, [link](url)) and transforms it into equivalent HTML tags (<strong>, <h1>, <a>). This converter runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to a server.
- What Markdown syntax is supported?
- This converter supports headings (# through ######), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), links, images, inline code, fenced code blocks with language hints, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, tables, and horizontal rules.
- Can I copy the generated HTML?
- Yes. Switch to the "Raw HTML" tab on the right panel to see the HTML source, then click the Copy button. You can also use the "Copy HTML" button in the actions bar below the editor.
- Does this tool use any external libraries?
- No. The Markdown parser is implemented entirely in the component with no heavyweight external dependencies. It covers the most common Markdown features while keeping the page fast and lightweight.
- What is the difference between this tool and the Markdown Previewer?
- The Markdown Previewer focuses on live-rendering Markdown as you type. The Markdown to HTML Converter emphasises producing clean, copyable HTML output — ideal when you need actual HTML code for emails, CMS fields, or static sites.
- How do I create tables in Markdown?
- Use pipes (|) to separate columns and dashes (-) for the header row separator. Example: | Name | Age |\n|------|-----|\n| Alice | 30 |. The converter turns this into a proper <table> with <thead> and <tbody>.
