Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown syntax does this converter support?
The converter supports headings (# H1 through ###### H6), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), blockquotes (> text), fenced code blocks, inline code, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, and horizontal rules (---).
Can I use the output HTML directly on my website?
Yes. Copy the HTML output and paste it into your web page's HTML body. The generated HTML uses standard tags compatible with all browsers. You may want to add your own CSS styling to match your website's design.
What is Markdown used for?
Markdown is used for README files on GitHub, documentation, blog posts, forum posts (Reddit, Stack Overflow), note-taking apps (Notion, Obsidian), and anywhere clean readable text formatting is needed without a rich text editor.
How do I create a table in Markdown?
Standard Markdown tables use pipe characters: | Column 1 | Column 2 | followed by a separator row |---|---| and then data rows. This converter handles most common Markdown syntax.
Why use Markdown instead of writing HTML directly?
Markdown is much faster to write than HTML — # Heading is easier than h1 tags. It's also more readable in its raw form and can be converted to HTML, PDF, or other formats.
