About the Markdown to HTML Converter

Markdown is a lightweight writing format that uses simple symbols like # for headings, ** for bold and - for lists. It is used in README files, documentation, forums, note-taking apps and static site generators. The Markdown to HTML Converter turns your Markdown into standard HTML you can paste into any website, CMS or email.

It supports GitHub Flavored Markdown, including tables, fenced code blocks, strikethrough and autolinks. The live preview renders inside a secure sandboxed frame, so you can see exactly how your content will look, then switch to the HTML tab to copy the code or download a complete HTML file.

Markdown cheat sheet with the HTML it produces

These are the pieces of Markdown you will use most:

  • # Title → <h1>Title</h1> (two # for a subheading, three for the next level)
  • **bold** → <strong>bold</strong> and *italic* → <em>italic</em>
  • [GoToolz](https://www.gotoolz.com) → a link
  • - item on several lines → a bulleted list, 1. item → a numbered list
  • > quote → a block quote
  • Three backticks before and after a block → a code block
  • | a | b | rows with a |---|---| line under the header → a table

Common uses

  • Writing blog posts in a simple editor, then pasting clean HTML into WordPress or another CMS.
  • Previewing a README before you push it to GitHub.
  • Preparing newsletters, where you need plain, well-structured HTML without editor clutter.

Tip: leave an empty line between paragraphs and before a list. Most "my list is not showing" problems come from a missing blank line.
