What is Markdown?▼
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting syntax to create formatted text. It's commonly used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and formatted text that can be easily converted to HTML.
What Markdown features are supported?▼
This tool supports standard Markdown features including headers, bold and italic text, lists (ordered and unordered), links, images, code blocks, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and inline code. It uses the CommonMark specification.
Can I copy the rendered HTML?▼
The preview shows the rendered output, but the tool focuses on markdown editing and preview. For HTML output, you may want to use a markdown-to-HTML converter. This tool is designed for writing and previewing markdown content.
Is my markdown saved?▼
No, all markdown processing happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never saved, stored, or sent to any server. The preview updates in real-time as you type.
Can I use this for GitHub README files?▼
Yes! This tool is perfect for writing and previewing GitHub README files. You can write your markdown here, preview it, and then copy it to your README.md file. The preview closely matches how GitHub renders markdown.
Does this support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?▼
This tool uses standard Markdown rendering. Some GitHub-specific features like tables, task lists, and strikethrough may not be fully supported. For full GFM support, you may need specialized tools, but basic markdown works great for most use cases.
