Frequently asked questions

Does this support tables or nested lists?

Not currently — this tool focuses on the Markdown syntax people use most often (headers, bold, italic, links, simple lists) rather than the full CommonMark specification. Tables and nested lists will pass through as plain text instead of being converted.

Is the output safe to paste directly into a website?

The generated HTML escapes special characters correctly and link URLs are restricted to safe schemes (http, https, mailto, and relative links) — a link using javascript: or another executable scheme is dropped rather than rendered. As with any HTML you paste into a page, still review it first if the source Markdown came from an untrusted source.
