How to Use the Markdown Preview
Start typing Markdown in the editor pane and see the rendered output update instantly in the preview pane. The default split view shows both sides simultaneously, making it easy to write and verify formatting in real-time.
Use the view mode toggle at the top to switch between Split, Edit, and Preview modes. Split mode is ideal for desktop use, while Edit and Preview modes work better on smaller screens or when you want to focus on either writing or reviewing.
All standard Markdown syntax is supported, including headings (using # symbols), bold and italic text, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, fenced code blocks with language tags, inline code, blockquotes, tables, horizontal rules, and task lists. The parser handles the full CommonMark specification.
The toolbar displays a live word and line count to help you track document length. Use the Copy HTML button to get the rendered HTML output for use in your website, blog, or documentation. Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
This tool is perfect for drafting README files, writing documentation, composing blog posts, or previewing any Markdown content before publishing. The clean, minimal interface helps you focus on your writing without distractions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses simple text formatting syntax — like # for headings, ** for bold, and - for lists — that can be converted to HTML. Markdown is widely used in documentation, README files, blog posts, forum comments, and note-taking apps because it's easy to read and write without needing a visual editor.
What Markdown syntax is supported?
This editor supports all standard Markdown elements: headings (# through ####), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), unordered and ordered lists, task lists (- [ ] and - [x]), fenced code blocks with language tags, inline code, blockquotes, links, tables, and horizontal rules. It covers the core CommonMark specification.
Can I export the rendered HTML?
Yes. Click the 'Copy HTML' button in the toolbar to copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard. This HTML includes CSS class names for styling, which you can customize in your own project. The HTML is clean and semantic, suitable for use in web pages, email templates, or content management systems.
Is my content saved?
The editor content is stored in your browser's memory during the session but is not automatically saved to disk or a server. If you refresh the page, the content will reset to the sample text. Copy your Markdown text or use the Copy HTML button to save your work before navigating away.
What are the different view modes?
There are three view modes: Split shows the editor and preview side by side (recommended for larger screens), Edit shows only the Markdown editor for focused writing, and Preview shows only the rendered output. You can switch between modes using the toggle in the toolbar.
