## About

Markdown is the de facto standard for writing content on the web — READMEs, blog posts, docs, comments. This tool converts Markdown to HTML in real time, so you can paste Markdown, see the HTML on the other side, and copy either form to the clipboard.

It supports the common subset: headings, bold, italic, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, and horizontal rules. For the small percentage of edge cases (tables, footnotes, task lists), reach for a dedicated library like marked or remark.

## How to use

1. **Type or paste Markdown** — The HTML preview updates as you type.
2. **Read the preview** — Use the rendered output to confirm the formatting is what you want.
3. **Copy the HTML** — Click Copy HTML to put the converted markup on your clipboard.

## Examples

### A short post

Headings, a list, and a code block.

Output:

```
<h1>Hello</h1><ul><li>one</li><li>two</li></ul><pre><code>const x = 1;</code></pre>
```

### Link with title

Markdown `[text](url "title")` becomes a real anchor.

Output:

```
<a href="url" title="title" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">text</a>
```

## FAQ

### Does it support GitHub-flavored Markdown?

It covers the most-used subset including headings, lists, links, images, code, and blockquotes. GFM-specific features like tables, task lists, and strikethrough are not included.

### Is the HTML safe to paste into my site?

The converter HTML-escapes all input, so user-provided text is safe. Links are automatically given rel="noopener noreferrer" and target="_blank" to prevent tab-nabbing.

### Does the output match GitHub-Flavored Markdown?

Mostly. Tables, fenced code, and task lists are supported. Some GFM extensions (mention autolinking, math with $$) are not. The output is safe HTML — no inline scripts, no event handlers — so it is safe to render in your own page.
