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.
Bonus, xclip can be directed provide the rich text directly to the clipboard (op this might offer you a solution that is usable as text by your recipients):
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.

`cat something.md | pandoc -f gfm -t html | xclip -selection clipboard -t text/html`
other output type targets also available, check xclip docs
my small experience with Wayland suggested this sort of thing might be more difficult there, but dunno

> I need the rendered content
what do you mean, here? you rasterize the markdown into an image?
[edit] yes he rasterizes the markdown into an image

Interesting - I think this can go with Voiden.
We are a offline API client using Markdown.
Take a look here maybe : https://github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden/
On macOS I use Shortcuts. It works great for me.
