GitHub-Flavored Markdown Rendering

GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) extends standard Markdown with features developers love: tables, task lists, strikethrough, and more. Markdown2ANY fully supports GFM, rendering these features in preview and preserving them in conversion.

This guide explains GFM features and shows how they work in Markdown2ANY.

Tables

GFM adds table syntax that standard Markdown lacks:

| Feature | Supported |
|---------|:---------:|
| Tables  | Yes       |
| Alignment | Yes     |

Use colons in the separator row to control alignment: :--- left, :---: center, ---: right.

Task Lists

Create interactive checklists:

- [x] Completed task
- [ ] Incomplete task
- [ ] Another todo

Task lists render as checkboxes in preview. They're perfect for to-do lists, feature checklists, and project tracking.

Strikethrough

Mark deleted or outdated text:

~~This text is struck through~~

Use double tildes around text to show it as crossed out. Useful for showing changes or deprecated information.

Autolinks

URLs and email addresses automatically become links:

Email support@example.com

No special syntax needed—GFM recognizes URLs and makes them clickable.

Fenced Code Blocks

Use triple backticks for code blocks with optional language specification:

```javascript
function hello() {
  console.log('Hello, World!');
}
```

Specify the language after the opening backticks for syntax highlighting. Common languages: javascript, python, java, html, css, bash, json, typescript.

Using GFM in Markdown2ANY

All GFM features work automatically:

1. Write your content using GFM syntax
2. Preview to verify rendering
3. Convert to your desired format

GFM features are preserved in HTML output. For PDF and Word, features like tables and strikethrough convert to their document equivalents.
