You can convert MD to MHTML by using two simple steps. First you need to render MD file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java . After that, by using powerful Document Processing API Aspose.Words for Java , you can convert DOC to MHTML. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for Java package.
Java API to Convert MD to MHTML
Get Started with Java File Manipulation APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load MD file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.md");
// save MD as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
Document outputDocument = new com.aspose.words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.MHTML
outputDocument.save("output.mhtml", SaveFormat.MHTML);
Open Password Protected MD Document via Java
While converting MD to MHTML, even if your document is password protected, you can still open it using PDF Manipulation API Aspose.PDF for Java . In order to open the encrypted file, you need to create a Document object and open the MD using the owner’s password.
Document document = new Document("input.md", "password");
// save MD as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
Save MHTML Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to MHTML file format, you can also save your document to database instead of a file system. You may need to implement storing and retrieving Document objects to and from a database. This would be necessary if you were implementing any type of content management system. In order to save your MHTML to database it is often necessary to serialize the document to obtain a byte array. This can be done using Aspose.Words for Java API. After getting your byte array, you can store it in the database using SQL statement.
public static void StoreToDatabase(Document doc, Connection mConnection) throws Exception {
// create an output stream which uses byte array to save data
ByteArrayOutputStream aout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// save the document to byte array
doc.save(aout, SaveFormat.MHTML);
// get the byte array from output steam
// the byte array now contains the document
byte[] buffer = aout.toByteArray();
// get the filename from the document.
String fileName = doc.getOriginalFileName();
String filePath = fileName.replace("\\", "\\\\");
// create the SQL command.
String commandString = "INSERT INTO Documents (FileName, FileContent) VALUES('" + filePath + "', '" + buffer + "')";
Statement statement = mConnection.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(commandString);
}

What is MD File Format
Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling all forms of writing on the GitHub platform. From your READMEs and in-line comments to documentation for your repositories and blog posts, Markdown is designed to make writing on the web easy to read, easy to write, and still look great.In addition to the basics of Markdown, you can also include images, links, and code blocks in your documents. You can even use a subset of HTML in your Markdown documents if you need more control over the display of your content.Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, nor is it a replacement for a rich text editor. It is simply a way to make writing on the web more accessible and easy to read.

MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a web page archive format used to combine resources that are typically represented by external links (such as images, Flash animations, Java applets, and audio files) with HTML code into a single file. The resulting file can be saved and opened by web browsers.MHTML is supported by most major web browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera. Safari has limited support for MHTML. When a web page is saved as an MHTML file, the HTML code and the resources are typically encoded using the MIME type multipart/related. This type of encoding is necessary in order to maintain the correct sequence of the HTML code and the resources when they are combined into a single file. The MHTML format is often used for archiving web pages or for distributing web pages that need to be viewed offline.
