title: flask - python - markdown to html
body: <p>I'm building my first website using flask and HTML. Some of my data that I want to migrate to this website resides in Markdown format. I am trying to convert Markdown into HTML using this however, I cannot get my hear around it:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown</a></p>
  
  <p>I import it into my *.py file not sure what are the next steps after. This is what I got so far</p>
  
  <pre><code>from markdown import markdown
  html = markdown.markdown(text)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>not sure what should be put into the "text" variable. Also I have my markdown data residing in an html file how do I reference that from here? I have read through the installation guide but it's not very clear for me.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
