The Markdown to HTML converter turns Markdown into clean, semantic HTML (h1–h6, p, ul, ol, table, pre, code). Switch between the HTML source and a rendered preview, or export a full HTML document with a <head> that opens directly in a browser.

## How to use the Markdown to HTML Converter

1. Paste Markdown on the left.
2. Turn on "Full HTML document" if you need a standalone page.
3. Switch the right side between "HTML" source and "Preview".
4. Press "Copy" to paste into a CMS, or "Download" to save an .html file.

## FAQ

### Does the HTML include styles?

No. It outputs plain semantic HTML without CSS, so it adopts your site's or CMS's styles.

### Are code blocks syntax-highlighted?

Code blocks get a class such as language-js; add Prism.js or highlight.js to color them.

### Can it convert HTML back to Markdown?

Not currently — only Markdown to HTML.
