Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown features are supported?
This converter supports all standard Markdown syntax: headings (H1-H6), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code, code blocks with syntax highlighting hints, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, nested lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and basic tables. It follows the CommonMark specification with GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions.
How does the converter handle code blocks?
Code blocks delimited by triple backticks (```) are converted to <pre><code> elements. If a language is specified (e.g., ```javascript), it's added as a class (language-javascript) for syntax highlighters. Enable "Escape HTML in code blocks" to convert < and > to HTML entities inside code, preventing rendering issues.
Can I use this for blog posts or CMS content?
Absolutely. The generated HTML is clean, semantic, and ready to paste into any CMS (WordPress, Ghost, Strapi, etc.). If your CMS requires specific CSS classes on headings, switch the "Heading style" option to "CSS class" mode. For email templates, enable "Inline CSS styles" to add basic styling directly to HTML elements.
How are tables converted?
Markdown tables using the pipe syntax (| Column | Column |) are converted to standard HTML <table> elements with <thead> and <tbody> sections. Alignment markers (:---, :---:, ---:) are translated to inline text-align styles on the corresponding cells.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. All conversion happens in your browser โฆyour content is never uploaded to any server.
