About the Markdown Editor & Preview

Markdown is the format behind READMEs, blog drafts, wikis, changelogs, and countless documentation systems, but writing it blind is awkward — you type asterisks and hash marks and hope the rendered version looks right. This Markdown Editor & Preview removes that guesswork by showing your formatted output next to your raw text as you type, so a heading, a nested bullet list, or a fenced code block reads correctly before you ever paste it somewhere else. It's built for anyone who writes Markdown regularly, from developers documenting a repo to writers drafting posts for a static site generator.

The editor uses a side-by-side layout: your Markdown source on one side, a live-rendered preview on the other, updating as you type with no manual refresh step. It supports GitHub Flavored Markdown, so tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting all render the way they would on GitHub, not just bare-bones CommonMark. Syntax highlighting in the editor pane also makes it easier to spot a missing backtick or an unclosed bracket while you're writing. When you're done, export the result to HTML, ready to drop into a CMS, an email template, or a static page.

Because everything runs client-side in your browser, nothing you write is uploaded to a server — useful if you're drafting notes with sensitive project details or an unreleased blog post. A common workflow is writing a GitHub README or pull request description here first, checking the table and code-block rendering in the preview pane, then copying the final Markdown or exported HTML over. It's also a fast way to sanity-check Markdown you've received from someone else before pasting it into a tool that won't show you a preview.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses simple plain-text syntax like **bold**, # headings, and - lists that converts to clean HTML. It's widely used on GitHub, Reddit, blogging platforms, and documentation sites.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

Our editor supports standard Markdown including headings (#), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), links, images, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, tables, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.

Can I export my Markdown as HTML?

Yes, you can copy the rendered HTML output from the preview panel. This is useful for pasting formatted content into CMS platforms, email clients, or any system that accepts HTML but not raw Markdown.
