From markdown to HTML
LLMs answer in markdown, but the web runs on HTML. When you want to publish a
ChatGPT or Claude answer to a blog, a CMS, or an email template, you need clean
semantic HTML — real <h2>, <ul>, <pre> tags, not a wall of text. This
converter parses common markdown and emits tidy HTML with a live preview so you can
see exactly what you’ll ship.
How it works
The parser processes the markdown in passes: first it protects fenced code blocks,
then it converts block-level structure (headings, lists, blockquotes, tables, rules),
then inline elements (bold, italic, links, images, inline code). Raw angle brackets
in your prose are escaped first, so the output is safe to drop into a page without an
injected <script> running.
## Heading -> <h2 id="heading">Heading</h2>
- item -> <ul><li>item</li></ul>
`code` -> <code>code</code>
Tips and notes
Toggle heading IDs on for documentation so each section is linkable. The preview reflects the exact generated source — copy the source view, not the preview, to get the markup. For the reverse trip, the HTML to Markdown converter handles the same set of elements. To strip formatting entirely instead of converting it, use Markdown to Plain Text.
