Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to write formatted text using simple plain text syntax. For example, **bold** for bold text, # for headings, and - for bullet points. Markdown files typically use the .md extension.

What Markdown features are supported?

This tool supports headers (h1-h6), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and task lists. The preview updates in real time as you type.

Where is Markdown used?

Markdown is used extensively on GitHub (README files, issues, pull requests), Stack Overflow, Reddit, Discord, documentation sites, static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo, Next.js), note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion), and blog platforms.

Can I copy the rendered HTML?

Yes. Click the 'Copy HTML' button above the preview pane to copy the generated HTML markup to your clipboard. This is useful for pasting into blog editors, email templates, or CMS platforms that accept HTML.

Is my content saved?

No. All Markdown processing happens locally in your browser. Your content is not saved, stored, or transmitted to any server. If you refresh the page, your content will be replaced with the default example.

What is the difference between Markdown and HTML?

Markdown is a simpler syntax that converts to HTML. Instead of writing <strong>bold</strong>, you write **bold**. Instead of <h1>heading</h1>, you write # heading. Markdown is faster to write and easier to read as plain text, while HTML offers more control over structure and styling.
