Markdown is a plain-text way to add common document structure. It is often used in README files, notes, and content workflows because the source remains readable without a special editor.
Common Syntax
- Start a heading with one or more hash characters followed by a space.
- Start an unordered list item with a hyphen and a space.
- Wrap text in double asterisks for bold emphasis.
- Write a link as label.
- Put inline code between backticks, such as the command npm run build.
Blank lines help separate paragraphs and lists. For code examples, use triple backticks on their own lines and close the block with another triple-backtick fence.
Convert and Review
The Markdown to HTML converter turns common Markdown patterns into HTML. Preview the result and check that links, headings, lists, and code blocks render as intended. Markdown dialects differ, so advanced extensions may not behave the same in every converter.
If converted HTML will be displayed on a website, treat untrusted input carefully. Escape or sanitize HTML according to the platform's security guidance; conversion alone does not guarantee arbitrary content is safe to embed.
