## What it does

Markdown to HTML renders headings, bold, italic, links, code, and lists into HTML, shown both as code and as a live preview. HTML to Markdown walks pasted markup and rewrites it as Markdown with headings, emphasis, links, lists, and blockquotes.

## Common uses

Preparing README files, converting blog drafts between editors, or cleaning copied web text into plain Markdown notes.

## Private by design

Parsing happens locally with a built-in lightweight parser. Nothing leaves your device.

## Frequently asked questions
### Which Markdown features are supported?

Headings, bold, italic, inline code, links, and bulleted or numbered lists going to HTML; those plus blockquotes, code blocks, and horizontal rules coming back from HTML.

### Is the HTML sanitized?

The preview renders in your own page only. For publishing user content, run output through a sanitizer on your server.

### Is my text sent to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser.
