How it works

A line-oriented converter: # / ## / ### become headings, - lines become <ul> lists, **bold** and *italic* become <strong>/<em>, `code` becomes <code>, [text](url) becomes a link, everything else becomes a paragraph. Raw HTML in the input is escaped, so the output is safe to paste anywhere.

Examples

InputOutput
# Hello<h1>Hello</h1>
**bold** and *it*<strong>bold</strong> and <em>it</em>
- a\n- b<ul>\n <li>a</li>\n <li>b</li>\n</ul>

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Markdown features are supported?

Headings (h1–h3), unordered lists, bold, italic, inline code and links — the constructs that cover most README sections, comments and docs snippets. Tables, images and fenced code blocks are not transformed.

Is raw HTML in my Markdown kept?

No — it is escaped into visible text. That is deliberate: the output can be pasted into any CMS or comment system without risking broken markup or script injection.

How do I convert HTML back to Markdown?

The reverse direction needs a parser (libraries like turndown in JavaScript or markdownify in Python do it well). For short snippets it is usually faster to rewrite by hand.
