## Not an option: Markdown
Unfortunately, **tiptap doesn’t support Markdown as an input or output format**. We considered to add support for it, but there are a few limitations:
Unfortunately, **tiptap doesn’t support Markdown as an input or output format**. We considered to add support for it, but those are the reasons why we decided to not do it:
* HTML and JSON can both have deeply nested structures, Markdown can’t have those
* Tables are not part of the Markdown standard, and can’t easily be stored and restored from Markdown
* Both, HTML and JSON, can have deeply nested structures, Markdown is flat.
* There are enough packages to convert HTML to Markdown and vice-versa.
* Markdown standards vary.
You should really consider to work with HTML or JSON to store your content, they are perfectly fine for most use cases.
If you still think you need Markdown, [Nextcloud Text](https://github.com/nextcloud/text) uses tiptap 1 to work with Markdown. Their code is open source, so maybe you can learn from them.
If you still think you need Markdown, ProseMirror has an [example on how to deal with Markdown](https://prosemirror.net/examples/markdown/) and [Nextcloud Text](https://github.com/nextcloud/text) uses tiptap 1 to work with Markdown. Maybe you can learn from them.
That said, tiptap **does** support Markdown shortcuts to format your content. Try typing `**two asterisks**` to make your text bold for example.

## Generate HTML from ProseMirror JSON
If you need to render the content on the server side, for example to render a blog post which was written with tiptap, you’ll probably need a way to do just that without an actual editor instance.

That’s what `generateHTML()` is for. It’s a utility function that renders HTML without an actual editor instance. As an easy alternative, you can also use tiptap in a [read-only mode](/examples/read-only).

Import a lightweight implementation from `@tiptap/core` if you’re using the function in a browser context only.
