md2loop

A tiny static web app that converts Markdown into clipboard HTML formatted for Microsoft Loop. Paste markdown on the left, click Copy as Loop HTML, and paste into Loop — headings, lists, task-list checkboxes, tables, and links come through clean.

Inspired by trsdn/md2loop, a Mac-only Swift utility. This is a browser version — no install, works on any platform.

How it works

1. Markdown → HTML via marked
2. Post-processed for Loop: strips class / id / style attributes, converts task-list <input type="checkbox"> to Unicode glyphs (☑ / ☐), and cleans up table markup
3. Writes both text/html and text/plain to the clipboard via navigator.clipboard.write() with a ClipboardItem

Development

No build step. Open index.html in a browser, or serve the folder:

python -m http.server 8000
# then visit http://localhost:8000

Deploy

GitHub Pages, set to deploy from the main branch root.
