How to convert Markdown to editable rich text
Start from the sample Markdown or paste your own. Click Convert to generate rich text you can edit with the toolbar. Use Normalize anytime to re-clean pasted or edited HTML. Set a document title before printing so headings and filenames stay clear.
Supported Markdown formatting
Paragraphs and line breaks, bold and italic, headings H1–H3, ordered and unordered lists, links, blockquotes, inline code, fenced code blocks, and horizontal rules are supported with deterministic HTML output and sanitization.
Pasting from Word, Google Docs, and web pages
Rich paste uses clipboard HTML when present. Office-specific tags and deep span nesting are simplified; scripts and dangerous attributes are removed while preserving readable structure where possible.
Printing and saving rich text as PDF
The print layout uses dedicated styles: white paper, dark text, comfortable spacing, and sensible breaks for headings, lists, and preformatted code so browser Save as PDF produces a clean document.
Privacy: local in-browser editing
There is no login and no cloud document storage for this tool. Processing stays on your device; localStorage only holds your last editor state for convenience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Markdown to editable rich text?
Type or paste Markdown in the left panel and click Convert. The tool renders common Markdown (headings, lists, emphasis, links, code, blockquotes, horizontal rules) into sanitized HTML in the rich text editor so you can keep editing.
What happens when I paste from Word, Google Docs, or a web page?
When you paste into the rich text editor, the page reads HTML from the clipboard when available, strips scripts and unsafe attributes, removes most inline styles, and keeps basic structure like paragraphs, bold, italic, lists, and links.
How do I print or save a PDF?
Use Print to open the system print dialog. Print styles hide navigation and this help section so only your document content prints on a white background with readable typography—use Save as PDF where your browser supports it.
Is my content private? Where is it stored?
All conversion and editing run locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server for core features. Your Markdown, rich text, and title are saved only in your own browser storage so a refresh can restore the last session.
What are the formatting limitations?
This is an MVP focused on common Markdown and simple rich text. Complex tables, tracked changes, citations, and pixel-perfect Word layout are out of scope. Pasted content is normalized to a small set of HTML tags for predictable output.
