Convert Markdown to a JSX component
Escape JSX-unsafe characters and wrap the result in a default-exported React function component — ready to paste into your codebase.
export default function Content() {
return (
<>
# Welcome
Some **bold** text with a {'{'{'}'}variable{'}'} reference.
<pre><code>{`const x = {'{'{'}'}a: 1{'}'};
console.log(x);`}</code></pre>
End of page.
</>
);
}
How to convert Markdown to JSX
Escapes curly braces in prose so React doesn't treat them as expressions, then wraps fenced code in pre/code, and returns a default-exported function component.
- 01
Paste Markdown
Any draft — even with curly braces.
Parsing runs through marked with GFM extensions enabled — tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks all match GitHub’s rendering.

Escape braces
Curly braces become string literals safe for JSX.
Soft-break behaviour is configurable: by default a single newline becomes a space (CommonMark), toggle on for chat-style

Wrap code
Fenced code becomes pre/code with template literals.
The preview is scoped under a

Author Markdown that renders everywhere
GFM is the safe default
GitHub-Flavored Markdown is the de-facto baseline (tables, task lists, strikethrough). CommonMark is stricter but ubiquitous as a fallback.
Soft-break behaviour varies
A single newline is a space in CommonMark, a <br> in GFM. Toggle soft breaks when source matters.
Escape inside code fences
Backticks inside fenced blocks need a longer fence — three becomes four. Use ~~~ if your content has many backticks.
Anchors are slugified
GitHub lowercases, strips punctuation, and joins with hyphens. Duplicate headings get -1, -2 suffixes.
Tables need a header row
The dash row sets alignment (:---, :-:, ---:). Use Table Aligner for diff-friendly columns.
Front matter is YAML
Triple-dash blocks at the top of files are parsed by static-site generators. Use the Front-Matter Validator to catch syntax errors.
When to convert to JSX
Static prose embedded in a React app.
About pages
Quickly render long-form prose as a React component. Render path uses marked with GFM extensions enabled (tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks), so what you preview matches what GitHub publishes bit-for-bit. Soft-break behaviour is configurable for chat-style vs prose Markdown.
GFM-compliantComponent docs
Auto-generate doc components for Storybook. Pairs cleanly with the Markdown Cheatsheet for syntax you can't quite remember — callout blocks, footnotes, definition lists. Output stays diff-friendly so style-only changes don't drown out real edits in PRs.
GitHub-perfectEmail templates
JSX-compatible email components. Cross-platform safe: anchors, code fences, and tables behave identically on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea. Heading-anchor slugs follow GitHub's lowercase-and-hyphenate rules so deep links survive a docs migration.
diff-friendlyBundled docs
Embed README content inside a CRA / Vite app. No server roundtrip — perfect for proprietary content you can't paste into a public tool. The full marked + GFM bundle ships with the page, so it works offline once loaded.
render-stableMigration aid
Move from MD-driven sites to React with low effort. Front matter (YAML / TOML / JSON) passes through unchanged so static-site pipelines (Jekyll, Hugo, Astro, Eleventy) read it correctly. Pair with the Front-Matter Validator to catch syntax errors before deploy.
cross-platformi18n strings
Stage Markdown copy for translation workflows. Output is reproducible: identical input always produces identical Markdown, so doc-generation scripts can rely on it for snapshot tests and embedded into release workflows.
