MD-to-HTML-Parser

Add this to your website: convert Markdown to HTML — entirely in the browser, no backend needed.

This open-source project renders Markdown (.md) files as styled HTML using only:

  • One HTML file (index.html)
  • One CSS file (style.css)
  • Standard Markdown files (e.g. example.md)
  • No backend — works on GitHub Pages or any static host

Live Demo

Deploy the repo to GitHub Pages and open the URL.
Or serve it locally:

python -m http.server 8080
# then open http://localhost:8080

Usage

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Open index.html in a browser (or any static host)
  3. Edit Markdown in the left panel — the right panel updates instantly
  4. Enter any .md file URL in the toolbar and click Load to render it
