Markdown encoder
Escape and unescape Markdown syntax.
About Markdown encoder
Add or remove escapes around Markdown punctuation. This helps when a piece of text contains asterisks, brackets, or other characters that should not act as formatting instructions.
Steps, and limitations
How to use it
- Enter the text you want to transform.
- Choose escape or unescape.
- Review the result in a Markdown preview before using it.
Things to know
- Escaping is context-dependent; inline text, code spans, and code blocks do not use identical rules.
- This tool does not sanitize arbitrary HTML or make untrusted markup safe for every renderer.
