Frequently Asked Questions
What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
GitHub Flavored Markdown is an extension of standard Markdown that adds features commonly used on GitHub. It includes tables (using pipes |), strikethrough text (~~like this~~), task lists (- [ ] checkbox items), automatic linking of URLs, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, and more. Our converter fully supports GFM, making it perfect for converting README files, GitHub wiki pages, or any GFM-formatted content to HTML.
Can I preview how the HTML will look?
Yes! Click the "Live Preview" button to see exactly how your HTML will render in a browser. The preview uses beautiful typography styling to show your content as it would appear on a real webpage. You can also use "Split View" to see both the raw HTML code and the live preview side-by-side.
Is the HTML output safe to use on my website?
The HTML output is generated directly from your Markdown using the marked parser. If your Markdown contains raw HTML tags, they will be included in the output. For public-facing websites, we recommend sanitizing the HTML with a library like DOMPurify if you're accepting Markdown from untrusted sources. For your own content, the output is safe to use as-is.
Does this support code syntax highlighting?
The converter preserves code blocks from your Markdown (using ``` fenced blocks or indented code). The HTML output includes proper <pre> and <code> tags with language classes (e.g., language-javascript). To add syntax highlighting on your website, pair the HTML with a syntax highlighting library like Prism.js or highlight.js.
Can I convert large Markdown files?
Yes! Our converter handles large documents efficiently. For files over 50KB, we automatically debounce the conversion (200ms delay) to keep the interface responsive. Syntax highlighting is disabled for very large files to maintain performance, but the conversion still works perfectly. All processing happens in your browser, so there are no file size limits.
⚠️ Note: The Live Preview renders HTML directly in your browser. Only preview Markdown from trusted sources to avoid potential security risks.
