How do I convert Markdown to HTML?

To convert Markdown to HTML using Typora, click File —> Export —> HTML.

Can you put Markdown in HTML?

Markdown supports HTML, so if you need any special attributes on elements, you can just use HTML. But it's nice to not have to. Different varietals of Markdown handle it in different ways. Some varietals simply add an ID on all headings for you automatically.

How do I export Markdown?

You can write Markdown online in its editor or just paste in your completed text, then preview the formatted version on the right. Copy the formatted text for a quick export—or click the Export as menu to save your document in HTML, PDF, or plain text formats.


Use pandoc — it's a commandline tool that lets you convert from one format to another. This tool supports Markdown to HTML and back.

E.g. to generate HTML from Markdown, run:

pandoc -f markdown index.md > index.html

This is how you would do it in Bash.

for i in ./*.markdown; do perl markdown.pl --html4tags $i > $i.html; done;

Of course, you need the Markdown script.
