Markdown Previewer
Write Markdown on the left. See it rendered live on the right.
Why write in Markdown
Markdown lets you format text — headings, bold, lists, links — using plain punctuation instead of a formatting toolbar. It's the format behind README files on GitHub, most static site generators, and many note-taking apps, because plain-text files stay readable and portable even without a renderer.
About the Markdown Previewer
The Markdown Preview shows your Markdown as formatted HTML side by side as you type. It supports headings, lists, links, images, code blocks, tables and emphasis, and lets you copy the rendered HTML.
Markdown is a lightweight way of writing formatted text using symbols: # for headings, asterisks for bold and italic, hyphens for lists and backticks for code. It is used in README files, documentation, notes, static-site generators and many chat tools. The preview follows the common Markdown rules, but different platforms add their own extras, so tables or task lists may render differently elsewhere.
How to use it

Tips and good to know
- Leave a blank line before and after lists and code blocks.
