Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown and why use it?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses plain text formatting syntax that converts to HTML, making it easier to write and read than raw HTML. Developers use it for README files, documentation, blogs, and notes because it's portable, version-control friendly, and platform-independent.
What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
GFM is GitHub's extended Markdown syntax with additional features: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting. Our converter supports GFM, so you can use `~~strikethrough~~`, tables with `|`, and code blocks with ```language for accurate GitHub-style rendering.
How do I upload and convert my Markdown files?
Click the Upload button in the Markdown Input section, select your .md, .markdown, or .txt file, and it loads instantly. Edit as needed, then download the converted HTML or copy it to clipboard. Perfect for batch converting documentation or blog posts.
Can I see both preview and raw HTML?
Yes! The HTML Output section has tabs: Preview shows styled content (how it looks on a webpage), Raw HTML displays the actual HTML code. Use Preview to verify appearance, Raw HTML to inspect tags or copy for embedding in websites.
What Markdown syntax is supported?
All standard Markdown: headings (#), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), lists (- or 1.), links ([text](url)), images (), code blocks (```), blockquotes (>), and horizontal rules (---). Plus GFM features like tables, task lists (- [ ]), and strikethrough (~~text~~).
Is this tool suitable for static site generators?
Absolutely! Convert Markdown content for Next.js, Gatsby, Jekyll, Hugo, or any static site generator. The HTML output is clean and semantic, ready to integrate into templates or CMS. Use it to preview how your Markdown will render before building your site.
