Does this support tables and code blocks?
Yes. Standard Markdown elements such as headings, lists, links, tables, blockquotes, and fenced code blocks are supported.
Is the HTML safe/sanitized?

Can I convert HTML back to Markdown?
This tool focuses on Markdown to HTML conversion only.
Does it support syntax highlighting?
The preview renders code blocks, but full syntax coloring depends on the CSS of the website where you eventually publish the HTML.
Can I add custom CSS?
The preview uses a standard prose style. The exported HTML is unstyled so it inherits your own website's CSS perfectly.
