3. Copy HTML: Click the copy icon in the output area to save the HTML code to your clipboard.
4. Print/PDF: Click the Print as PDF button to open a new window with the rendered HTML, which you can then print or save as a PDF file using your browser's print dialog.

This is **bold** and this is *italic*.

FAQs

• Which Markdown flavor is supported? The tool uses the markdown-it library, which follows the CommonMark specification with some common extensions.
• Can I include HTML in my Markdown? Yes, standard Markdown allows for raw HTML to be included, and it will be passed through to the output.
• Is my data safe? Yes, the conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your content is never sent to a server.

Common Mistakes

• Incorrect Syntax: Forgetting spaces after list markers (e.g., writing -item instead of - item).
• Missing Newlines: Forgetting that Markdown often requires a blank line between different blocks (like a header and a paragraph) to render correctly.

Use Cases

• Blogging: Drafting articles in Markdown and converting them to HTML for WordPress or custom CMS platforms.
• GitHub READMEs: Testing how a README will look before committing it to a repository.
• Academic Writing: Converting structured notes into a printable PDF format.
