Markdown Editor

What is a Markdown Editor?

A Markdown editor lets you write in plain text using simple punctuation rules, then preview how it will look as formatted HTML. It is ideal for README files, documentation, notes, and blog drafts because the source stays readable in any text editor while exports can target the web.

Features

• Live preview — the preview updates as you type.
• GitHub-flavored Markdown — tables, strikethrough, task lists, and fenced code blocks.
• Syntax highlighting — code samples in the preview are highlighted with Prism.
• Load and save — open .md files and download your Markdown.
• Copy HTML — copy or export sanitized HTML for CMS or static pages.
• Share draft — copy a link that embeds your current text (works best for moderate-sized documents).
• Auto-save draft — your text is stored locally in the browser between visits.

How to use

1. Type or paste Markdown in the left pane (or use Load to open a file).
2. Use the toolbar for headings, lists, links, tables, and other common patterns.
3. Review the rendered output in the preview pane.
4. Use Copy Markdown, Save, Copy HTML, or Export HTML as needed.

Privacy

Parsing and preview run in your browser. Draft auto-save uses localStorage on your device only. When you use Share, the copied URL contains your content in the fragment—only share links with people you trust.
