Code blocks in markdown are great for readers, awkward to export. Our converter wraps fenced code blocks in <pre><code class="language-X"> elements with syntax-highlighting classes ready for Prism / highlight.js to style. Optionally inline the styles for cases where you can't ship JS (email, RSS, static archives).
When to use this
Use to: convert tutorial markdown to HTML for a CMS that doesn't auto-highlight code, generate code-rich blog posts from markdown drafts, port StackOverflow-style answers to your own knowledge base, export code documentation from README.md.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which syntax highlighting library is the output compatible with?
Both Prism.js and highlight.js - they use the same `language-X` class naming convention on the <code> element. Add either library's CSS to your page and the output will pick up styling automatically.
Can it inline syntax-highlighting styles?
Yes - toggle 'Inline styles' before converting. The output then has color styles applied as inline `style="color: ..."` attributes, useful for HTML emails or static archives where you can't load external CSS.
