Frequently Asked Questions
Markdown to HTML

What is Markdown to HTML conversion?

+

Markdown to HTML conversion is the process of transforming Markdown syntax into HTML code. Markdown is a lightweight markup language used to write content in an easy-to-read format, while HTML is used to structure web content. By converting Markdown to HTML, you can display properly formatted content on websites without writing complex HTML code manually.

Why should I use Markdown over HTML?

+

Markdown is preferred over HTML by many developers and content creators because it is simpler and faster to write. Unlike HTML, which involves complex tags, Markdown uses intuitive syntax to format text. For example, `#` for headings, `*` for emphasis, and links are created with brackets. Once converted to HTML, Markdown can be rendered as fully structured web content, making it an efficient choice for content writing.

How do I convert Markdown to HTML?

+

You can convert Markdown to HTML by using various tools and libraries, such as online converters, text editors with built-in conversion features, or Markdown parsers like Marked.js or Showdown. These tools take the Markdown syntax and generate the corresponding HTML code, which can then be embedded into websites or applications.

What are the benefits of Markdown to HTML conversion?

+

Markdown to HTML conversion offers several advantages:

  • **Simplicity**: Markdown is easier to write compared to raw HTML.
  • **Speed**: It allows you to focus on content creation without worrying about complex HTML syntax.
  • **Portability**: Markdown can be easily converted to different formats (HTML, PDF, etc.).
  • **Collaboration**: Markdown files are more readable in plain text, making them easier to collaborate on without needing advanced HTML knowledge.

Can Markdown to HTML conversion handle complex elements like tables and code blocks?

+

Yes, modern Markdown supports advanced features such as tables, code blocks, and lists. When converted to HTML, these elements are properly structured and styled. For example, a table in Markdown uses pipes (`|`) and hyphens (`-`) to define rows and columns, and the Markdown to HTML converter translates this into an HTML table.

Markdown Syntax
Cheatsheet

Basic Formatting

  • Bold: **Bold**
  • Emphasized: *Emphasized*
  • Strikethrough : ~~Strikethrough~~
  • Horizontal rules: --- (three hyphens), *** (three asterisks), or ___ (three underscores).

Headings

All heading levels (e.g. H1, H2, etc), are marked by # at the beginning of a line. For example, an H1 is # Heading 1 and an H2 is ## Heading 2. This continues to ###### Heading 6.

Links

Links can be created using the following methods:

  • Links can be [inline](https://interstellardesign.studio/)
  • Inline links can [have a title](https://interstellardesign.studio "Awesome Markdown Converter")
  • Also, there can be reference links that allow the URL to be placed later in the document:
    • Here is a [reference link][interstellardesign] that links to this site.
    • References are case-insensitive (for example [this link][interstellardesign] works).
    • References can also [use numbers][1].
    • Or leave it empty and use the [link text itself].
  • Also, you can use relative links [like this](../space/master/LICENSE.txt).
  • URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links: https://interstellardesign.studio or <https://interstellardesign.studio>.
URLs for reference links are somewhere later in the document like this: 
[markdowntohtml]: https://interstellardesign.studio
[1]: https://interstellardesign.studio
[link text itself]: https://interstellardesign.studio

Images

Images can also be inline or use a reference style, similar to links. Simply prepend an exclamation point to turn the link into an image. For example: 

Images with the full URL: ![alt text](https://image.com/300/300)

Or, a reference-style image: ![alt text][bears].

[bears]: https://image.com/300/300

Lists (Ordered Lists and Unordered Lists)

Lists are made by using indentation and a beginning-of-line marker to indicate a list item. For example, unordered lists are made like this: 

* One item
* Another item
  * A sub-item
    * A deeper item
  * Back in sub-item land
* And back at the main level

Unordered lists can use an asterisk (*), plus (+), or minus (-) to indicate each list item.

Ordered lists use a number at the beginning of the line. The numbers do not need to be incremented – this will happen for you automatically by the HTML. That makes it easier to re-order your ordered lists (in markdown) as needed.

Also, ordered and unordered lists can be nested within each other. For example: 

* One item
* Another item
  1. A nested ordered list
  1. This is the second item
    * And now an unordered list as its child
    * Another item in this list
  1. One more in the ordered list
* And back at the main level

Code and Syntax Highlighting

Inline code uses `backticks` around it. Code blocks are either fenced by three backticks (```) or indented four spaces. For example: 

```
var foo = 'bar';

function baz(s) {
   return foo + ':' + s;
}
```

Blockquotes

Use > to offset text as a blockquote. For example: 

> This is some part of a blockquote.
> Some more stuff.

Will produce:

This is some part of a blockquote. Some more stuff.

Lists (Ordered Lists and Unordered Lists)

  * Back in sub-item land
* And back at the main level

Use > to offset text as a blockquote. For example: 

> This section includes blockquote.
> more blockquote.

The following will produce:

This section includes blockquote. more blockquote
