Does it inline CSS or just produce bare HTML?

Just bare semantic HTML. No tag, no inline `style=` attributes. Drop the file into your existing site or wrap it in a template and your CSS will apply automatically. If you need a fully self-contained styled page, paste the output into a template with your stylesheet.

What flavor of Markdown is supported?

GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) — the dialect ChatGPT, Claude, and Obsidian produce by default. That covers headings, bold/italic, ordered + unordered lists, links, images, tables, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, and task lists. The conversion runs through an industry-standard pipeline so edge cases (nested lists, table alignment) are handled correctly.

Are scripts or unsafe HTML inside the Markdown sanitized?

The converter does not execute scripts during conversion, but raw HTML embedded in your Markdown is passed through. If you plan to render untrusted Markdown on a public site, sanitize the output yourself (DOMPurify on the client, bleach on the server) before injecting it into the DOM.

Can I add my own CSS to the output later?

Yes — that's the intended use. The output is plain semantic HTML, so any stylesheet that targets , , , etc. will style it. Tailwind's Typography plugin (`prose` class) and the default GitHub Markdown CSS both work out of the box.

Is the .html file ready to upload to a static site?

Yes for body content. The output is a fragment-style HTML5 document — head it with your own tag, navigation, and footer, then drop it into Hugo, Eleventy, Next.js, or any static site generator. Many users pipe the output directly into a layout template.

Do I need pandoc installed to convert .md to HTML here?

No. The whole point of this page is to give you a browser-based pandoc alternative for markdown to html — you don't install anything, don't touch a terminal, and don't manage filters or templates. Upload the .md, download the .html. If you already use pandoc locally and just need a quick one-off without firing up the CLI, this is the shortcut.

My Markdown came from ChatGPT or Claude — will tables, code blocks, and headings survive?

Yes. LLM output is essentially GFM, which is exactly what the converter expects — pipe tables become real elements with / , fenced code blocks keep their language hint, and the heading hierarchy stays intact. Paste the assistant's reply into a .md file, upload, and you get clean HTML you can drop into a CMS or blog.

Is .md the same as Markdown? A colleague (or an LLM) gave me a .md file...

Yes — .md is the standard file extension for Markdown, a plain-text format that uses simple symbols (# for headings, * for bold, ``` for code blocks) instead of hidden formatting. If you can open it in Notepad or TextEdit and see readable text with those symbols, it's Markdown. Upload it here and you get the rendered HTML version.

GFM Tables & Code Blocks Preserved

GFM tables convert to clean <table> markup with <thead>/<tbody>. Fenced code blocks keep their language hint as a class so highlight.js, Prism, or Shiki can colour them on render.
