Pasting Markdown into a converter and getting back live, unescaped HTML
is a quieter risk than it looks — if the tool doesn’t neutralize plain
text before it starts building tags, anything you typed by hand,
including something like a stray <script>, can ride along into the
output. Our new
Markdown to HTML Converter is
built the other way around: every character of your plain text is
HTML-escaped first, and only the tags this tool itself generates from
real Markdown syntax ever become live markup.
- The everyday subset, done honestly — headings, bold and italic, links and images, ordered and unordered lists, fenced code blocks, inline code, and blockquotes. It’s a hand-written parser, not a full CommonMark implementation, and we say so plainly rather than overclaiming: nested lists, reference-style links, and tables aren’t part of what it handles.
- Escape-first, by construction — plain text is neutralized to
<,>, and&before any HTML tag is built, so pasted markup or script tags always come through as inert text, never live code — important since the HTML this generates often gets embedded straight into someone else’s page. - Live preview, sandboxed — see the rendered result in an isolated
<iframe>with scripts disabled, right next to the raw HTML source you’ll actually copy. - Private by default — parsing and rendering both happen in your browser; nothing you paste is ever sent to a server.
Paste in a README draft, a comment, or a quick note with some bold text and a link, and watch the HTML — and the preview — update as you type.
