Markdown to HTML guide

Convert a README to an HTML Page

Turn a README.md into a standalone HTML page you can host, preview, or embed — headings, code blocks, and tables intact.

Direct answer

Paste your README.md and convert it to HTML to get a hostable page: the H1 title, install and usage code blocks, and configuration tables all become semantic HTML. Download the full document to open it in a browser or drop it into a static site.

When to use this

  • You want to publish a project README as a standalone web page.
  • You need the README as HTML for a docs site, landing page, or preview.
  • You want to check how the README renders outside GitHub.

Steps

  1. Paste the full README.md into the input pane.
  2. Convert to HTML and confirm the H1 title and section headings map correctly.
  3. Check that fenced code blocks became <pre><code> and tables became <table>.
  4. Download the complete .html file to get a doctype, head, and body wrapper.
  5. Host the file, or paste the body markup into your site template.

Example conversion

Markdown input
# ProjectName

A one-line description.

## Installation

```bash
npm install projectname
```

## Usage

| Option | Default |
| --- | --- |
| debug | false |
HTML output
<h1>ProjectName</h1>
<p>A one-line description.</p>
<h2>Installation</h2>
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install projectname
</code></pre>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Option</th><th>Default</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>debug</td><td>false</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Common mistakes

  • GitHub applies its own README styling; the raw HTML is unstyled, so add CSS or a stylesheet for a polished page.
  • Relative image paths in a README break once hosted elsewhere; switch them to absolute URLs.
  • Language-tagged code fences become <code class="language-..."> but need a highlighter library to actually colorize.

FAQ

How do I turn a README.md into a web page?
Paste the README into the converter, convert to HTML, and download the full .html document. It opens standalone in any browser and can be hosted on any static host.
Will my code blocks and tables survive the conversion?
Yes. Fenced code blocks become <pre><code> and pipe tables become full <table> markup with <thead> and <tbody>.
Why does my hosted README look unstyled?
GitHub adds its own CSS. The exported HTML is intentionally plain so you can apply your own styles; add a stylesheet or inline CSS to match your site.
