Write on the left, admire on the right
Markdown won because it stays readable as plain text while producing clean HTML. This editor renders live as you type: perfect for drafting a README, a blog post, documentation or a forum message.
The essential syntax in 30 seconds
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
| # Title | A level-1 heading (## = level 2…) |
| **bold** and *italic* | Bold and italic text |
| [text](https://…) | A clickable link |
| - item | A bulleted list (1. = numbered) |
| > quote | A blockquote |
| `code` and ```block``` | Inline or block code |
| | a | b | | A table (with a |---|---| row) |
Three uses where the preview changes everything
- GitHub READMEs: check how tables and code blocks render before pushing.
- Blog posts: write at full speed in Markdown, paste the HTML into your CMS.
- Documentation: the structure (headings, lists) is visible immediately — and so are omissions.
The produced HTML is minimal and class-free: it naturally inherits your site’s styles. And the conversion is safe — raw HTML pasted into the source is neutralized.
Frequently asked questions
What is Markdown?
A lightweight markup language created in 2004: you write plain text with a few symbols (#, **, -) and the document converts to clean HTML. It became the standard for documentation, GitHub READMEs, wikis and many blog editors.
Which syntax is supported?
Headings (# to ######), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`) and code blocks (```), links [text](url), images , bulleted and numbered lists, quotes (>), tables (| columns |) and rules (---).
Is the generated HTML safe?
Yes. Text is escaped before parsing: raw HTML injected into the source will not execute, and link/image URLs are filtered (dangerous schemes like javascript: are neutralized).
Can I paste the HTML into my site or CMS?
Yes: the HTML tab shows the generated code with no imposed styles. It inherits your stylesheet — paste it into any CMS, HTML email or template.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No, everything stays in the page. Reload and the content resets to the sample — copy your work before leaving to keep it.
