How it works

Markdown is easy to write and awkward to check: you cannot tell whether a nested list or a reference link is right until something renders it. This renders as you ask, and gives you the HTML to copy.

What is supported

Standard Markdown — headings, emphasis, lists, links, images, code blocks, blockquotes and tables. Raw HTML inside the Markdown is passed through untouched.

What is not

Platform-specific extensions such as GitHub callouts, task list styling and Mermaid diagrams are not rendered. They are additions to Markdown made by individual sites rather than part of it.

Which Markdown it understands

It uses the marked library (version 12) with its default settings, which follow GitHub Flavored Markdown: headings, lists, links, images, code blocks, tables, ~~strikethrough~~, task-list checkboxes and bare URLs that become links. A single line break inside a paragraph is not turned into <br>; leave a blank line to start a new paragraph.

The HTML is not sanitised

Raw HTML written inside your Markdown passes straight through to the output, exactly as marked produces it. That is what you want for your own documents, but if the Markdown came from someone you do not trust, run the HTML through a sanitiser before putting it on a web page.

Shown as source, not rendered

The result appears as HTML source in a text box, ready to copy into a page or a CMS. Because it is shown as text, nothing in it runs here.
