Markdown is a lightweight markup language that you can use to add formatting elements to plaintext text documents. You use simple symbols like `#` for headings and `*` for bold text to format your writing without having to click buttons in a word processor.

Markdown Editor - Live Preview & HTML Converter

Q: How does the live preview work?

We use a powerful JavaScript library called `marked.js` to instantly convert your Markdown text into HTML. To keep things safe, we then use another library called `DOMPurify` to sanitize the HTML, which removes any potentially harmful code before it's displayed in the preview panel.

Q: How can I use the final HTML?

Once you are happy with your document, you can click the Copy HTML button. This will copy the clean, rendered HTML from the preview panel to your clipboard. You can then paste this HTML directly into your website's source code, a blog post, an email, or any other application that accepts HTML.

Does this editor support tables?

Yes. Our editor supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), which is an extension of the standard Markdown that includes extra features like tables, strikethrough text, and task lists. This makes it great for writing technical documentation and README files.
