Copy this and paste it into your page's HTML. The tool runs in the visitor's browser, just like here. Change height to fit, or add the optional auto-resize snippet below. Add ?theme=dark to the URL for dark mode.
<iframe src="https://toolhq.dev/embed/html-to-markdown/" title="HTML to Markdown — ToolsHub" width="100%" height="520" style="border:1px solid #e5e7eb;border-radius:12px;max-width:680px" loading="lazy"></iframe>Optional: auto-resize the iframe height
Add this once on the same page so the iframe grows to fit the tool:
<script>
addEventListener("message", function (e) {
if (e.data && e.data.type === "toolshub:resize") {
document.querySelectorAll('iframe[src*="/embed/"]').forEach(function (f) {
if (f.contentWindow === e.source) f.style.height = e.data.height + "px";
});
}
});
</script>
