What is Markdown Preview?

A Markdown previewer renders GitHub Flavored Markdown as you type, including tables, task lists, and code blocks, and lets you switch over to the generated HTML source. Scripts and event attributes are stripped from the rendered result, and the whole process runs locally in your browser.

How to use Markdown Preview

  1. 1Type or paste Markdown into the left pane.
  2. 2The right pane shows the rendered result by default; switch to "HTML source" to copy the generated markup.
  3. 3When writing tables, remember that the separator row beneath the header is required.

Frequently asked questions

Which extended syntax is supported?+

The common GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions: tables, task lists, strikethrough, fenced code blocks, and autolinks. Math formulas and diagram syntax are not supported, since those require additional rendering plugins.

Can I drop the generated HTML straight into a web page?+

Yes, but plan for styling. The output is semantic markup with no CSS attached, so you have to supply the typography yourself once it is inserted. Note also that the preview is sanitized, so scripts and event attributes are removed.
