About Markdown to HTML Conversion
Markdown was designed to convert easily to HTML. The conversion produces semantic HTML elements: # → h1, ** → strong, * → em, - → ul/li, > → blockquote, --- → hr. The resulting HTML can be embedded directly in web pages, blog posts, CMS content areas, or email templates. For production use, consider a proper Markdown library (marked.js, markdown-it, showdown) which handles all edge cases, security (XSS prevention), and extensions correctly.
FAQ
Is the HTML output safe to use?
For trusted content (your own Markdown), the HTML is safe to use. If rendering user-supplied Markdown, always sanitise the HTML output to prevent XSS attacks. Use DOMPurify on the client side or a server-side HTML sanitiser. Never inject unsanitised user Markdown directly into your page's innerHTML.
