Search for discount markdown, it has table of contents feature, and
valid HTML, and is fastest.

You can install markdown-mode for Emacs.

markdown is basically used on command line, in shell, like:

echo "## Hello" | markdown
<h2>Hello</h2>

Emacs helps you to make that conversion easily. markdown-mode has
preview already.

Can you install markdown-mode?

I have made functions so I just press single key for conversion.

You can do following:

(keymap-set markdown-mode-map "C-c a" #'rcd-markdown-preview)

You need Emacs 29.1 for that function to work.

I have just tried it, it works well.
