Browser-local developer utility

Markdown to HTML

Convert a focused, documented subset of Markdown into HTML source that stays visible as text instead of being rendered or executed.

By

Enter input to begin.

Method

The converter escapes raw HTML first, then transforms ATX headings, paragraphs, unordered lists, emphasis, strong text, inline code, and explicit HTTP or HTTPS links. Output is written only with textContent.

Limits and assumptions

Input is limited to 1 MB. This focused converter is not a complete CommonMark implementation and does not process tables, footnotes, fenced code blocks, embedded HTML, or every nested construct. Review output before publishing.
