What is Markdown to HTML conversion?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language used for writing documentation, README files, articles and technical content. HTML is the standard markup language used to structure web pages.

Markdown to HTML conversion translates Markdown syntax into HTML elements. For example, a Markdown heading becomes an HTML heading, a Markdown link becomes an anchor element, and a Markdown list becomes an HTML list.

This conversion is useful for publishing Markdown documentation on websites, generating HTML articles, building static websites, and integrating Markdown content into web applications.

The converter sanitizes the generated HTML. This helps remove potentially unsafe elements and attributes, but sanitization can also change some advanced HTML markup.
