Free HTML and Markdown Editor

The editor supports common article structure, with a selectable GFM mode for tables, task lists, strikethrough, and automatic links. Review the active dialect and your receiving platform’s requirements.

Use Undo and Redo to review recent editor changes. Retain your source document or download a backup before leaving the page. Local saving is optional and is not a cloud document library.

Footnotes, math, diagrams, front matter, and platform-specific extensions are not part of this release. Complex HTML layouts, forms, embeds, and custom CSS may not have equivalent Markdown structures. Review compatibility notes instead of assuming an exact round trip.

Markdown lets you write structure with ordinary text characters. Here is a small example using supported article formatting:

## How to prepare an article draft

Start with a **clear main point** and a short introduction.

- Keep each section focused.
- Give readers a useful example.
- Review every link before submission.

Read the [publisher instructions](https://example.com/guidelines/) before sending the draft.

The output contains an H2 section heading, paragraphs, bold emphasis, a bulleted list, and a link. The publisher can then apply its own site styles.

The example destination is illustrative. Replace it with the actual publisher’s URL before using the text in an article.

HTML copied from another editor can contain font styling, layout wrappers, classes, and elements that do not belong in a simple article body. Cleanup reduces that markup to the supported subset.

For example, supplied HTML might look like this:

<div class="copied-document">
  <h2 style="font-family:Arial">Choosing useful article topics</h2>
  <p class="document-paragraph">
    Start with a <strong>specific reader question</strong>.
  </p>
</div>

The useful structure is the heading, paragraph, and emphasis. The original wrapper and presentation styles are unnecessary for a publisher that will style the article through its own theme.

Cleanup filters unsupported tags, event-handler attributes, and disallowed URL protocols. The change report identifies removed markup and URL attributes. Compare the final output with your original before sending it; HTML recovery or filtering can change structure.

Paste supplied HTML and turn supported headings, paragraphs, lists, links, emphasis, quotes, images, and code into editable Markdown. Convert compatible tables to GFM syntax when that mode is selected.

Review compatibility notes before replacing the original. Custom CSS, forms, embedded widgets, page layouts, and advanced table styling do not have equivalent Markdown structures. The editor identifies supported losses so you can decide how to handle them.

Use the article-body profile for simple publisher content, or the document profile when your output needs the supported structure of a general document. A standalone HTML download is separate from a CMS body fragment.

Review the original and output alongside the cleanup report. It identifies removed tags, attributes, and URL attributes without enabling arbitrary scripts, forms, or embeds.

Insert a supported table or edit its Markdown source, then review headers, alignment, and cell content. Use GFM mode when the receiving platform accepts tables and task lists.

Add an approved image URL with meaningful alt text. External images are blocked in the preview; confirm image permissions and the final destination separately. Image export does not upload, store, or verify the asset.

Use fenced code blocks for examples that need preserved spacing. Code stays literal, so HTML inside an example remains an example rather than active markup. This release does not apply language-based syntax highlighting.

Review the heading outline to navigate your draft and check its hierarchy. Use the available formatting shortcuts and literal find-and-replace controls to make repeated edits efficiently.

Start from a supplied article, educational-guide, or README/documentation template. Adapt the structure to your reader and remove sections that do not help. Templates are starting points, not a publication approval.

Open one Markdown, plain-text, or HTML file, continue editing, and keep the original for comparison. File and input limits are shown by the editor; conversion is not a layout-perfect document importer.

Copy HTML source for a CMS, save Markdown for future editing, download readable plain text, or export a standalone HTML document for a complete file. The standalone file retains the no-external-image resource policy; approved image URLs remain in the source. Review the exported result before sharing it.

PDF, DOCX, batch conversion, rich document imports, and cloud publishing are not included in this release.

Core editing, conversion, preview, and the supported exports run in your browser. Leave local saving off for a temporary session, or enable it to restore your draft in the same browser.

Local storage is not a cloud backup. Download your draft before clearing browser data, using another browser, or changing devices. The editor does not import remote URLs or load external images in its preview.

Ask the receiving site which format it accepts. Some publishers want an HTML body fragment; others prefer a document or plain text that their editor will rebuild.

For a typical WordPress article handoff:

1. Supply the article title separately from the body.
2. Begin the body with your introduction and meaningful H2 sections.
3. Provide the approved destination and anchor text for each link.
4. Send images with alt-text, caption, source, and permission notes.
5. Review a draft preview in the receiving CMS before publication.

The editor does not log in to WordPress, create a WordPress draft, or publish your article. Copying an HTML fragment gives you content to transfer into the publisher’s own workflow. The site’s editor, theme, permissions, and formatting policy can change how it appears.

Body-heading conventions help keep the handoff clear; they are not a promise of better Google rankings. Follow a logical hierarchy and the publisher’s requirements.

Formatting is most useful after the article’s substance is ready. A polished preview cannot establish whether a claim is accurate or a source supports it.

Check the requested length and repeated phrases with the Word Counter and Keyword Density Checker. Phrase frequency describes your text; it does not provide an ideal density for ranking.

Use the Readability Score Calculator to estimate reading difficulty and identify writing that deserves closer review. A readability score does not verify the facts or usefulness of an article.

If the submission needs APA or MLA references, the Citation Generator can format the bibliographic details you supply. Review the source information yourself; formatting a reference does not validate it.

For a link list to accompany your submission, the URL, Link and Domain Extractor can extract URLs and HTML link details from supplied text or markup. It does not fetch the destinations or check their status.

Before sending a guest post or article, review:

• The argument: Each section should answer a useful reader question.
• The evidence: Claims, quotations, and statistics need appropriate sources.
• The links: Anchor text should describe the destination, and the final URL should be intentional.
• The images: Confirm permissions and provide useful alternative text.
• The publisher requirements: Match the accepted format, tone, length, and heading structure.

Our editorial standards explain the expectations for an article handoff. Keep these requirements beside the draft while you review it.
