Markdown → HTML
Understand how simple Markdown becomes structured HTML in a rendered document.
The relationship
Markdown is a writing syntax. HTML is the structure browsers use to display a page. A Markdown renderer translates common patterns into HTML elements.
Side by side
# Hello World This is **bold text**. becomes <h1>Hello World</h1> <p>This is <strong>bold text</strong>.</p>
When to use each
Choose Markdown for writing documentation and content quickly. Use HTML when you need precise control over structure, attributes, or browser behavior.
