Quick Start

Install packages and wire up the converter in three steps:

1. Install packages:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-markdown-converter
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-richtexteditor

2. Import CSS in src/App.vue or src/main.js:

import '@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material3.css';
import '@syncfusion/ej2-richtexteditor/styles/material3.css';

3. Convert Markdown to HTML:

import { MarkdownConverter } from '@syncfusion/ej2-markdown-converter';

const markdown = '# Hello World\nThis is **Markdown** text.';
const html = MarkdownConverter.toHtml(markdown);
console.log(html);
// Output: <h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is <strong>Markdown</strong> text.</p>

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Standalone Conversion (No Editor)

When you only need to convert a Markdown string to HTML without an editor UI:

import { MarkdownConverter } from '@syncfusion/ej2-markdown-converter';

const html = MarkdownConverter.toHtml(markdownString);
document.getElementById('preview').innerHTML = html;

Pattern 2: Live Preview on Keyup

Convert on every keystroke inside a Rich Text Editor textarea:

markDownConversion() {
  const textarea = this.rteObj.contentModule.getEditPanel();
  const previewEl = document.getElementById('html-view');
  previewEl.innerHTML = MarkdownConverter.toHtml(textarea.value);
}

Pattern 3: Conversion with Options

Disable GFM and enable line-break conversion:

const html = MarkdownConverter.toHtml(markdownString, {
  gfm: false,
  lineBreak: true
});

Pattern 4: Side-by-Side Preview with Splitter

For a full editor + preview experience, use the Syncfusion Splitter component alongside the Rich Text Editor in Markdown mode. The preview pane is updated via updateValue() on every change event. 📄 Read: references/richtexteditor-integration.md for the full implementation.
