Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for formatting plain text. It is used in README files, GitHub, Reddit, Slack, and countless documentation tools. You can add headings, lists, links, code blocks, and more with simple symbols.
Is this a full Markdown renderer?
It supports the most commonly used features: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, lists, links, images, inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, and horizontal rules. It does not yet support tables, HTML pass-through, or GitHub-specific extensions.
Is my content safe?
Yes. The rendering happens entirely in your browser. HTML characters in your Markdown are escaped before rendering, which prevents script injection in the preview.
Can I copy the generated HTML?
Yes — click "Copy HTML" above the preview pane to copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard.
Will you add a dark theme for the preview?
The preview already respects your site-wide theme preference. Toggle the theme from the navbar and the preview will follow.
