Getting the most from your Markdown conversion

GFM vs Standard Markdown

We support GitHub Flavored Markdown, which includes useful features like tables, task lists (`[ ]`), and URL auto-linking that standard Markdown often misses.

Handling Images and Links

Markdown links (`[text](url)`) become standard HTML `<a>text</a>` tags. Ensure your image source paths are correct for the website where you'll be hosting the content.

Code Blocks and Syntax

Fenced code blocks are converted into semantic `<pre><code>` tags. This ensures your code snippets look great and are easy to style with libraries like Prism or highlight.js.

HTML in Markdown

If you paste raw HTML inside your Markdown, it will typically be passed through to the final output, giving you total control over complex layouts.

Typography and Quotes

Standard Markdown handles blockquotes (`>`) and emphasis (`*`, `_`) perfectly. Our tool ensures these are wrapped in the correct semantic tags for accessibility.

Local security for drafts

Since everything is processed locally via JavaScript, your private drafts and internal documentation are never exposed to our servers.
