About the Markdown Preview
Markdown is quick to write but easy to get subtly wrong — a missing blank line before a list, or the wrong number of backticks around a code block, and the output is not what you intended. A live preview catches that immediately. Useful for drafting a README, a documentation page or a forum post before pasting it into a platform that only shows you the result after you publish.
Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown syntax is supported?
Headings, bold and italic, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, inline code and code blocks.
Can I get the HTML output?
Yes, the rendered HTML can be copied as well as the Markdown source.
Is my document stored anywhere?
No. Rendering happens in your browser and the text never leaves your device.
Which flavour of Markdown does the preview use?
It renders the common core: headings, bold and italic, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, inline code and fenced code blocks. Platform-specific extensions such as GitHub task lists or footnotes may not render identically to their own preview.
Which Markdown flavour does it render?
Standard Markdown plus the common GitHub extensions — tables, fenced code blocks, task lists and strikethrough. Paste any .md file and the preview updates as you type.
