Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown syntax does the preview support?
The core CommonMark syntax: headings, bold/italic text, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, blockquotes, and code blocks — everything you'd need for a typical README or documentation page.
Can I use this to write a GitHub README before committing it?
Yes. Draft your README.md content in the editor and use the live preview to check formatting and rendering before pasting it into your repository.
How do I get the rendered result out of this tool?
Click Copy HTML to copy the rendered markup to your clipboard, or Download HTML to save it as a standalone file you can open or embed elsewhere.
Does it support tables and syntax-highlighted code blocks?
Core CommonMark syntax is supported reliably; extended features like tables or syntax highlighting depend on the underlying renderer — click Sample to see exactly which syntax is demonstrated.
Is my Markdown content uploaded anywhere?
No. Rendering happens entirely in your browser — your text is never sent to a server, so it's safe to draft private notes or unpublished documentation here.
