The page runs marked on your device to decode the Markdown and encode it as HyperText Markup Language. Most conversions finish in a few seconds; large or codec-heavy files (RAW, video) can take longer.

FAQ
common questions
What Markdown flavour does the converter support?
GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) — the most common dialect. That covers standard syntax (headings, lists, links, emphasis, code blocks) plus GFM extensions: tables with pipe syntax, fenced code blocks with language tags, task lists with checkboxes, and strikethrough. LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, and other extended-Markdown features (rendered by tools like Obsidian or Notion) aren't standard and don't convert.
Will code blocks have syntax highlighting?
Not by default. The converter produces semantic HTML — fenced code blocks become <pre><code class='language-xyz'> with the language attribute set if you specified one. To get visible highlighting you'd combine the HTML output with a CSS theme + a highlighter library like Prism or Highlight.js. For embedding into a page that already has syntax highlighting CSS, the output drops in cleanly.
What about images referenced in my Markdown?
Image references () convert to <img> tags with the source URL intact. If your Markdown references local image files, those references stay relative in the HTML — open the HTML in a folder structure that matches the original Markdown's relative paths and images render. For self-contained HTML, embed images as data URIs in your source Markdown or post-process the HTML to inline them.
Will the HTML be styled or just structural?
Just structural. The converter produces clean semantic HTML — <h1>, <p>, <ul>, <table>, etc. — without any visual styling. The result is ready to drop into any CSS framework or styled page; how it actually looks depends on the CSS applied to the page that hosts it. For a complete self-styled HTML page, you'd wrap the output in a template with your preferred CSS.
Does YAML front matter at the top of my Markdown get preserved?
Depends on the converter — most strip YAML front matter (the --- block at the top used by Jekyll, Hugo, and other static-site generators). Front matter is meta-data for the publishing system, not document content, so it usually doesn't belong in the HTML output. If you need to preserve front matter, parse and emit it separately before converting.
