Markdown Editor

Q: Can I export my work?

Yes. Export as HTML or download as .md file.

Q: Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown?

Standard Markdown syntax including headers, bold, italic, code blocks, lists, links, blockquotes.

Write in Markdown on the left, see live rendered HTML on the right. Export, download, and insert Lorem Ipsum placeholder text.

How to Use the Markdown Editor

Type or paste Markdown in the left panel and watch the formatted preview update live on the right. Use the toolbar buttons (Bold, Italic, Code, H2) to insert syntax without remembering it, or write raw Markdown directly - the preview refreshes as you type.

Great for drafting blog posts, README files, documentation or notes that will later be published to a website, GitHub, or a CMS. Export the finished content as HTML when you need a styled version without the Markdown syntax.

Start simple: # for headings, asterisk text asterisk for italic, double-asterisk for bold, and backticks for inline code. The live preview makes it easy to learn as you go.

Keep headings nested logically - never skip from H2 to H4 - since the exported HTML uses them for structure. The export is handy for email newsletters that render HTML: compose in Markdown, export, and paste into your email tool without losing formatting.
