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.
