Markdown to HTML,
in one small file.

A tiny, zero-dependency Markdown→HTML renderer in a single ES module. Pure string → string — no DOM, so it behaves identically in Node and the browser. Everything below the fold on this page was rendered by it, live, from this project's own README.

The input, the renderer, the harness.

Everything this page runs on, in the open: the README's raw Markdown, the renderer (md-mini.js) itself, and the small HTML page that fetches it and calls renderMarkdown. The rendered result is just below.
