Markdown to HTML Converter

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to write formatted content using plain text syntax that's easy to read and write. Markdown is used extensively in documentation, README files, blog posts, forums, messaging apps, and content management systems.

While Markdown is great for writing, web browsers render HTML. Converting Markdown to HTML bridges this gap — letting you write in simple, readable syntax and output clean, semantic HTML that browsers can display. Most static site generators, blogs, and documentation tools perform this conversion automatically.

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extends standard Markdown with additional features like tables, task lists (checkboxes), strikethrough text, fenced code blocks with language syntax highlighting, and autolinks. These extensions have become the de facto standard across most Markdown implementations.

Common Markdown elements include: # for headings, **bold** and *italic* for emphasis, - item for lists, [text](url) for links, ![alt](src) for images, `code` for inline code, and triple backticks for code blocks. Our converter supports all standard and GFM syntax.
