Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses simple, easy-to-read plain text formatting that converts to HTML. It's widely used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and forums like Reddit and Stack Overflow.
What Markdown syntax is supported?
This tool supports: headings (# to ######), bold (**text** or __text__), italic (*text* or _text_), links [text](url), images , code blocks (``` code ```), inline code (`code`), unordered lists (- or *), ordered lists (1.), blockquotes (>), tables, horizontal rules (---), and strikethrough (~~text~~).
How do I create a heading?
Use # symbols at the start of a line. One # for h1 (largest), two ## for h2, up to six ###### for h6 (smallest). Example: "# My Title" becomes <h1>My Title</h1>. Always add a space after the # symbols.
How do I create tables in Markdown?
Use pipes (|) to separate columns and hyphens for the header separator. Example: | Header 1 | Header 2 | |----------|----------| | Cell 1 | Cell 2 | The separator line can use any number of hyphens (minimum 3).
Can I use HTML directly in Markdown?
This converter focuses on pure Markdown syntax. If you need specific HTML elements or attributes, you can add them to the generated HTML after conversion. Most Markdown parsers allow mixing HTML, but this keeps the input focused on Markdown.
What's the difference between Preview and HTML mode?
Preview mode shows how your Markdown will look when rendered (like on a website). HTML mode shows the raw HTML code that was generated, which you can copy and paste into your website, blog, or application.
Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?
This tool only converts Markdown to HTML (one direction). Converting HTML to Markdown requires a separate tool since HTML is more complex and some elements don't have direct Markdown equivalents.
Is my data secure?
Yes! All Markdown conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy. This tool works offline once loaded.
