Markdown basics
Markdown is a lightweight plain-text format that maps cleanly onto HTML. # starts a heading, * makes a list, ** bolds text, [link](url) creates a hyperlink. It stays readable as source but renders as styled HTML.
Typical use cases
- Converting README files for website display.
- Writing blog posts in Markdown and exporting to a CMS.
- Turning meeting notes into formatted email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Markdown flavour does it support?
CommonMark plus GitHub Flavoured Markdown (GFM) extensions — tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks and fenced code blocks with language hints.
Is the HTML output sanitized?
Raw HTML inside Markdown is preserved by default (useful for complex layouts). Turn on 'sanitize' if you'll display user-supplied content to protect against XSS.
Can I export a full HTML document?
Yes. The 'full document' option wraps the output in <!DOCTYPE html>, <head> with a basic stylesheet, and <body>, so you can save it as a standalone .html file.
What about code highlighting?
Fenced code blocks keep their language class (<code class="language-js">), which lets you plug in Prism, Highlight.js or Shiki on your site for syntax colouring.
