Sources:
- CommonMark Spec — standard Markdown syntax
- GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec — tables, task lists, strikethrough
Limitations:
- This converter is designed for quick previews and HTML/text conversion, not for validating every platform-specific Markdown extension.
- Not supported: Mermaid diagrams, math expressions (LaTeX), YAML front matter, HTML passthrough, footnotes, definition lists, and custom containers.
- Code syntax highlighting is not applied — fenced code blocks receive a language class but no colorization.
- Privacy: your Markdown is processed locally in the browser and is never uploaded.
- Sanitization: HTML output is cleaned — raw HTML in input is escaped and unsafe URL schemes (javascript:, data:) are blocked.
