Is there an easy way to convert a MarkdownDocument to HTML? Like

var doc = Markdown.Parse("some markdown text")
var html = doc.ToHtml()

I feel plain stupid but i couldn't find a way to convert a MarkdownDocument to a HTML string.

I can't use the Markdown.ToHtml() with the markdown text as a string, because i have some Relative URLs like ../pics/picture.png and need to convert them to Absolute URLs.
I'm doing this with the MarkdownDocument.Descendants().OfType<LinkInline>() and modifing the Url property. But after doing that i'm not able to convert the MarkdownDocument to HTML.

It would be great if you could help me with this matter.

Use HtmlRenderer directly (as it is done by the Markdown.ToHtml method), something like this:

var markdownDocument = Markdown.Parse(...)
// process markdownDocument
[...]
// Output
var writer = new StringWriter();
// Create a HTML Renderer and setup it with the pipeline
var renderer = new HtmlRenderer(writer);
pipeline.Setup(renderer);
// Renders markdown to HTML (to the writer)
renderer.Render(markdownDocument);
// Gets the rendered string
var result = writer.ToString();
