Convert Markdown or md URL to HTML - MarkdownToHTML - Using JavaScript ft. showdownjs


Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. John Gruber and Aaron Swartz created Markdown in 2004 as a markup language that is appealing to human readers in its source code form. Wikipedia


Using Markdown you will write(code) less and get more(static content).

Code given below are basic JavaScript Codes. Easy to Understand you can modify it and make the functions more dynamic.



Here is the code you can use to change your markdown to HTML and show the html on your Website.
  
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/showdown/dist/showdown.min.js"></script>
<div id="mycontent"></div>
<script>

var converter = new showdown.Converter();
var md = '[**Showdown**](http://www.showdownjs.com) is *great*\n' +
         'because:\n\n' +
         ' - it\'s easy to use\n' +
         ' - it\'s extensible\n' +
         ' - works in the server and in the browser';
var html = converter.makeHtml(md);
  document.querySelector('#mycontent').innerHTML = html;

</script>

To Know more about showdownjs functions Visit GitHub or I will embed the markdown of GitHub here using the following code.

Pro Tip :- Instead of Writing Code of MD in Js or Js Variable.

-> write the Markdown Inside a div

-> Make a variable and get the inner text of the div into it.

-> Convert the md to html using showdown and

change the innerHTML of that div to the new generated HTML

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/showdown/dist/showdown.min.js"></script>
<div id="mypost"></div>
<script>
fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/showdownjs/showdown/master/README.md').then(response => response.text())
  .then(data => {
  console.log(data);
  var converter = new showdown.Converter();
