Safe by default
We sanitize the rendered HTML using rehype-sanitize with a careful allowlist of attributes — no inline event handlers, no javascript: URLs, no surprises. The HTML you download is safe to embed in your own pages or to ship as a static file.
Need to do it programmatically?
If you're a developer who needs to do this in code, the pipeline that powers this tool is:
import { unified } from "unified";
import remarkParse from "remark-parse";
import remarkGfm from "remark-gfm";
import remarkRehype from "remark-rehype";
import rehypeSanitize from "rehype-sanitize";
import rehypeHighlight from "rehype-highlight";
import rehypeStringify from "rehype-stringify";
const html = String(
await unified()
.use(remarkParse)
.use(remarkGfm)
.use(remarkRehype)
.use(rehypeSanitize)
.use(rehypeHighlight)
.use(rehypeStringify)
.process(markdown)
);
