Frequently Asked Questions

What Markdown syntax is supported?

The converter supports all standard Markdown syntax including headers (H1-H6), bold and italic text, links, images, code blocks, inline code, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, and horizontal rules. It handles both basic and extended Markdown features commonly used in GitHub, documentation, and README files.

Can I preview the HTML before downloading?

Yes! Click the "Preview" button to toggle between code view and rendered preview. The preview mode shows exactly how your HTML will appear in a browser, making it easy to verify formatting, links, and styling before exporting. You can switch back to code view anytime to see the raw HTML.

Does the converter handle code blocks with syntax highlighting?

Yes! The converter processes code blocks and preserves language specifications. When you use triple backticks with a language identifier (like ```javascript), the converter adds the appropriate class attributes to enable syntax highlighting. The downloaded HTML includes basic styling for code blocks.

Is the generated HTML ready to use in websites?

Absolutely! The converter generates clean, semantic HTML that works in any website or application. When you download the HTML file, it includes a complete HTML document with proper structure, meta tags, and CSS styling. You can use the HTML directly or extract just the content portion for integration into existing pages.

Can I convert GitHub README files to HTML?

Yes! This converter works perfectly with GitHub-flavored Markdown including README.md files. Simply upload your README file or paste the content, and it will be converted to HTML while preserving all formatting, links, and code blocks. You can also use it to convert documentation from platforms like GitLab, Bitbucket, or any Markdown-based system.

Is the Markdown to HTML converter free?

Yes, completely free with no limitations on file size, conversion frequency, or features. No registration required, and you can convert unlimited Markdown files with full syntax support, live preview, and downloadable HTML output.
