FAQ
-
Why use Markdown instead of writing HTML directly?
Markdown is much faster to write and more readable than HTML. It uses simple symbols like asterisks for bold and hashes for headings, allowing you to create formatted content without the verbosity of HTML tags. Once written, you can convert it to clean HTML with our tool.
-
Does this converter support GitHub Flavored Markdown?
Yes, our converter supports most GitHub Flavored Markdown features including tables, task lists, and fenced code blocks. You can enable additional GFM features through the settings panel toggles.
-
Is my content private when using this converter?
Yes, all conversion processing happens client-side in your browser. No data is sent to our servers when you use the converter, ensuring your content remains completely private during the Markdown to HTML conversion process.
