# Markdown to HTML Converter

> Convert Markdown text in Airtable fields to HTML.

## What this tool does

The Markdown to HTML Converter reads Markdown text from a field and writes the rendered HTML to an output field. Use it when you need HTML output from Markdown content stored in Airtable, for websites, email templates, or integrations that expect HTML.

## Settings reference

| Setting          | Description                                        |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Source table** | The table containing Markdown text.                |
| **Source field** | The text or Rich Text field containing Markdown.   |
| **Output field** | The text or Rich Text field where HTML is written. |

### Conversion options

| Setting                       | Description                                                                            |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **GitHub Flavored Markdown**  | Enable GFM extensions: tables, task lists, strikethrough, and autolinks.               |
| **Line breaks**               | Convert single newlines to `<br>` tags (standard Markdown ignores single line breaks). |
| **Heading IDs**               | Add `id` attributes to headings for anchor links (e.g., `<h2 id="my-heading">`).       |
| **Strip inline HTML**         | Remove any raw HTML tags present in the Markdown source.                               |
| **Skip empty fields**         | Do not write output for blank source fields.                                           |
| **Overwrite existing output** | Write to the output field even when it already has a value.                            |
