I’d highly recommend pandoc[0] if you need markdown conversion. Basically converts from everything and any markdown style to everything else. And then for clipboard just use `| pbcopy` on a Mac or `| xsel -ib`. Full command on a Mac would just be `pandoc README.md -t html | pbcopy`. If you want a docx you can get that too.

I need the rendered content, not the plain text HTML. As mentioned in the README, I used pandoc in a previous version of the tool, but its output isn’t good looking for my use case.

Please read the README. The tool turns Markdown into NSPasteboard on Mac, or CF_HTML on Windows, so that when you press Cmd/Ctrl-P onto supported applications (Teams, Word, Google Docs), you get something similar to how Github would display the Markdown in the browser.
