About this tool

Paste Markdown or upload an .md file and get HTML you can publish: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, tables, task lists, footnotes and code blocks, with LaTeX-style maths turned into MathML that current browsers display without extra scripts.

The result is a complete page with simple, readable styling. Preview it on this page, copy the code, or download the .html file. To paste it into a blog or CMS, copy what sits between the body tags. The converter follows GitHub-flavoured Markdown, so text that looks right on GitHub converts the same way. The conversion runs on our server with Pandoc after you agree to the upload, and nothing is kept afterwards.

Questions people ask

Is raw HTML in my Markdown kept?
Yes. HTML written inside the Markdown passes through unchanged, as it does on GitHub.
Does the page load anything from the internet?
The styling is built into the file and maths uses MathML, so the page itself needs nothing else. Images linked in your Markdown still load from wherever they point.
Which Markdown does it follow?
GitHub-flavoured Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough, links written as plain addresses and footnotes all work. A YAML title block at the top becomes the page title.
Good to know

Before you publish your Markdown as HTML

Give the page a title

Add a YAML block such as title: My page at the top, so the browser tab and search results show a proper title.

Copy only the body for a CMS

Blogs and website builders already wrap your content in a page. Paste only what sits between <body> and </body>.

Maths needs a current browser

Maths is written as MathML, which current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display. Very old browsers show it as plain text.
