Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Markdown previewer?
A Markdown previewer renders Markdown text into formatted HTML in real time. It shows you how your Markdown will look when published, without needing to save or upload the file. This is useful for drafting and editing content.
What Markdown flavor is supported?
The previewer supports GitHub-flavored Markdown (GFM), which includes all standard Markdown plus extensions like tables, task lists, strikethrough, and auto-linking. This is the most common Markdown flavor used in modern platforms.
Can I export the preview as HTML?
Yes. The previewer can export the rendered output as a standalone HTML file. This is useful for publishing the content on a website or sharing it with someone who does not have a Markdown viewer.
Does the previewer support code syntax highlighting?
The previewer shows code blocks with monospace formatting. For full syntax highlighting with color, you would need to add a library like Prism.js or Highlight.js to the exported HTML. The preview focuses on Markdown rendering, not code coloring.
Can I use the previewer offline?
Yes. The previewer runs entirely in your browser. Once the page is loaded, it works without an internet connection. You can save the page for offline use or bookmark it for quick access.
