Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown features are supported?
The tool supports standard Markdown features: headers (H1-H6), bold and italic text, links and images, code blocks with syntax highlighting hints, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, horizontal rules, and inline code formatting. It also supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions like tables and task lists.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All rendering happens locally in your browser. Your Markdown content is parsed and converted to HTML entirely on your device without any network requests. This makes it safe for writing draft documentation, private notes, or any sensitive content.
Why doesn't my complex Markdown render correctly?
This tool uses a custom lightweight Markdown parser optimized for common cases. Complex nested structures, certain fenced code block scenarios, or edge cases in the GFM specification may not render perfectly. For full GFM support including strikethrough and complex tables, consider using a library-based solution.
How do I create a code block?
Wrap your code in triple backticks (```) on separate lines. The content between the backticks renders in a monospace code block. For inline code, use single backticks around the text. The tool displays code blocks with pre-formatted styling but the syntax highlighting appearance depends on your CSS styling.
Can I export the rendered HTML?
Yes, click the Download button to save the rendered HTML output as a file. This creates a standalone HTML document that displays your formatted Markdown content without needing the original source. You can also copy the rendered text using the Copy button.
What keyboard shortcuts are available?
Press Ctrl+Enter (or Cmd+Enter on Mac) to render your Markdown without needing to click the button. This is convenient for quickly updating the preview as you type or make changes to your content.
