Question 2

How does the Markdown Preview tool work?

Accepted Answer

Our Markdown Preview tool features a split-screen interface with a text editor on one side and a live preview on the other. As you type Markdown syntax in the editor, you immediately see the formatted result in the preview pane. This makes it easy to write and edit Markdown without having to switch between different views.

The tool supports all standard Markdown features including headings, bold and italic text, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and tables. We also support some GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions like task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks.

Question 4

Can I export my Markdown content?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can export your Markdown content in various formats including plain Markdown (.md) files, HTML, and in some cases PDF. You can also copy the generated HTML directly to use in websites or other applications. All processing happens in your browser, ensuring your content remains private.
