Markdown is a lightweight way of writing formatted text with plain symbols — # for a heading, **bold**, a dash for a list. HTML is what browsers actually render. Converting between them lets you write in the easy format and publish in the web one.
How Markdown maps to HTML
Each Markdown shorthand becomes a matching HTML tag: a # line becomes a heading, **text** becomes bold, a list of dashes becomes a bulleted list, and a link in square-and-round brackets becomes an anchor. You write the shorthand; the converter produces the tags.
How to convert
- Open the Markdown to HTML converter and paste your Markdown.
- It renders the equivalent HTML instantly.
- Copy the HTML into your website, CMS, email template or wherever you need it.
Where this is handy
It is useful when you write in a Markdown-friendly editor but publish somewhere that wants raw HTML — a custom site, a newsletter tool, a help centre. You keep the speed of writing in Markdown without hand-coding tags.
The conversion runs in your browser, so your draft is never uploaded.
