Markdown Converter – Convert Markdown in C#

Use the Markdown Converter guides when your source is a Markdown file or Markdown text. Aspose.HTML for .NET converts Markdown to HTML directly and can render the converted HTML to PDF, XPS, DOCX, and image formats.

Markdown is a lightweight plain-text markup format. In Aspose.HTML for .NET, Markdown conversion starts with Converter.ConvertMarkdown(), which creates an HTML document or HTML output. Conversions from Markdown to PDF, DOCX, XPS, or images use that HTML stage and then render the result with ConvertHTML() and target-specific save options.

How Markdown Conversion Works

1. Provide a Markdown file, stream, or text source.
2. Convert Markdown to HTML with Converter.ConvertMarkdown().
3. For PDF, XPS, DOCX, or image output, create the target save options and convert the intermediate HTML document with Converter.ConvertHTML().

The following example converts Markdown to JPG with ImageSaveOptions.

// Convert Markdown to JPG in C# with custom settings

// Prepare a path to a source Markdown file
string sourcePath = Path.Combine(DataDir, "nature.md");

// Prepare a path to save the converted file
string savePath = Path.Combine(OutputDir, "nature-options.jpg");

// Convert Markdown to HTML
using HTMLDocument document = Converter.ConvertMarkdown(sourcePath);

// Initialize ImageSaveOptions 
ImageSaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(ImageFormat.Jpeg)
{
    UseAntialiasing = true,
    HorizontalResolution = 200,
    VerticalResolution = 200,
    BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.AliceBlue
};
options.PageSetup.AnyPage = new Page(new Aspose.Html.Drawing.Size(600, 950), new Margin(30, 20, 10, 10));

// Convert HTML to JPG
Converter.ConvertHTML(document, options, savePath);
