    Why Convert Markdown to HTML?

    Markdown is great for writing, but HTML is what browsers understand. Converting Markdown to HTML is essential for:

    • Publishing Content: Publish Markdown-written content on HTML-based websites and CMSs
    • Email Newsletters: Convert Markdown to HTML for email marketing campaigns
    • Web Development: Generate HTML from Markdown documentation for web projects
    • Blog Posts: Convert Markdown drafts to HTML for platforms that don't support Markdown
    • Static Sites: Pre-generate HTML from Markdown for faster page loads
    • Presentations: Create HTML slides from Markdown source

    How the Conversion Works

    Our converter uses the Marked library, a fast and standards-compliant Markdown parser:

    1. Your Markdown is parsed into tokens (headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.)
    2. Each token is converted to its HTML equivalent
    3. The HTML is properly escaped to prevent XSS vulnerabilities
    4. The result is clean, semantic HTML5 code
    5. Conversion happens instantly as you type (real-time processing)

    • # Headings (H1-H6)
    • **Bold** and *Italic*
