Frequently asked questions
- What Markdown features are supported?
- Headings (# through ######), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), links, images, code blocks (fenced and indented), inline code, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and paragraphs.
- Does it support tables?
- Yes. Pipe-delimited Markdown tables are converted to HTML tables with proper thead and tbody elements.
- Does it support HTML inside Markdown?
- Yes. Raw HTML tags in your Markdown are passed through unchanged, which is standard Markdown behavior.
- Is the output clean HTML?
- Yes. The converter produces semantic HTML without extra classes, IDs, or wrapper divs. The output is ready to paste into any context that accepts HTML.
- Is my text sent to a server?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
- Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?
- This tool converts Markdown to HTML only. Converting in the other direction requires a different approach and may lose some formatting nuance.
- Does it handle GitHub-Flavored Markdown?
- It supports the most commonly used GFM features: fenced code blocks with language hints, tables, and strikethrough (~~text~~). Task lists and other GitHub-specific extensions are not currently supported.

About this tool
Markdown is the most popular lightweight markup language for writing structured text. Originally created by John Gruber in 2004, it has become the standard for README files, documentation, note-taking apps, and static site generators. But when you need the HTML output — to paste into a CMS, email tool, or web page — you need a converter.
The Wordshed Markdown to HTML converter processes your Markdown in real time as you type. It handles the standard Markdown syntax plus common extensions like fenced code blocks and tables. The output is clean, semantic HTML with no extra markup. Everything runs in your browser.
