About this tool
Converts Markdown to HTML in your browser. Supports the common subset: ATX-style headings, bold/italic/inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists (including nested), links, images, horizontal rules, and tables.
What flavour of Markdown?
Roughly CommonMark, with GitHub-flavored extensions for fenced code blocks and tables. It's intentionally simple — no plugins, no shortcodes, no custom containers. If you need GFM task lists, footnotes, or strikethrough alternatives, paste your output into a richer renderer afterwards.
Output cleanliness
The HTML output uses semantic tags (<h1>,
<ul>, <blockquote>, etc.) without
class names or inline styles. Drop it directly into a page that has its
own typography styles. The renderer also escapes raw HTML inside Markdown
by default, so pasted Markdown can't inject scripts.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is my raw HTML showing as text instead of rendering?
- By design — this renderer escapes raw HTML to prevent script injection. If you control the source and want HTML through, paste the rendered HTML into your destination separately.
- Does the preview use my page styles?
- The preview reuses the site's typography. The exported HTML uses bare semantic tags, so when you paste it into your own page the styling will match yours, not Digitools's.
- Can I save my work?
- Yes — use the Download .html button to save the rendered HTML as a self-contained file with basic styling. Your Markdown source itself isn't saved; copy it before you close the tab.
- How does the table syntax work?
- Pipe-delimited rows with a header separator:
| col1 | col2 |\n| --- | --- |\n| a | b |. Alignment cells like:---,:---:, and---:are recognized.
