Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber. It uses simple syntax like # for headers and * for emphasis, making it easy to write formatted text that converts cleanly to HTML. It is widely used in README files, documentation, forums, and static site generators.

What Markdown features are supported?

This tool supports: headings (H1-H6), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, unordered lists, ordered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and tables. All rendering happens in your browser without any external library.

Can I export my Markdown as HTML?

Yes. Click the "Export HTML" button to generate clean HTML output. You can then copy it or use it directly in your project. The exported HTML includes proper semantic tags like <h1>, <p>, <ul>, and <table>.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All Markdown parsing and HTML rendering happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your content never leaves your device.

Disclaimer: This tool renders Markdown locally in your browser. Exported HTML is provided as-is and should be reviewed before use in production environments.
