Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to write formatted content using a plain text editor. It's designed to be easy to read and write, and can be converted to HTML and other formats.
Markdown is widely used for documentation, README files, forum posts, and anywhere you want simple formatting without the overhead of complex word processing tools.
How do I use the Markdown editor?
Simply type your Markdown text in the editor on the left side, and you'll see the rendered preview on the right side in real-time. You can format text using Markdown syntax (like # for headings, * for italic, ** for bold, etc.). You can also click the 'Open in New Tab' button to view your formatted content in a full browser tab.
Is my content securely stored?
Your Markdown content is never stored on our servers. All processing happens directly in your browser. If you want to save your work, use the download button to save it as a Markdown file on your device.
What Markdown features are supported?
The editor supports standard Markdown syntax including:
- Headings (# Heading)
- Bold and italic text (**bold**, *italic*)
- Lists (ordered and unordered)
- Links and images
- Code blocks and inline code
- Blockquotes
- Horizontal rules
- Tables
It uses the marked library for parsing, which is compliant with the CommonMark specification.
Can I use this editor on mobile devices?
Yes! The editor is fully responsive and works on mobile devices. On smaller screens, the editor and preview panels will stack vertically for better usability. All features remain accessible on mobile, though we recommend landscape orientation for the best editing experience.
Is this tool accessible for people using screen readers?
Yes, we've designed the editor with accessibility in mind. The editor supports keyboard navigation, includes proper ARIA attributes, and the preview area is properly labeled for screen readers. If you encounter any accessibility issues, please contact us so we can improve the experience.
