How does the live Markdown preview work?

Type or paste Markdown in the left panel. The right panel updates in real time with the rendered HTML preview using the marked library. Both panels are independently scrollable for editing long documents.

What Markdown syntax is supported in the preview?

Full CommonMark syntax: headings (H1-H6), bold, italic, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, tables, and horizontal rules.

Can I copy the generated HTML from the preview?

Yes — click 'Copy HTML' in the preview panel header to copy the raw HTML to your clipboard. Useful for pasting into CMS platforms, email templates, or any context that accepts HTML but not Markdown.

Can I use this to write README files or blog posts?

Absolutely — the Markdown Preview tool is ideal for GitHub README files, blog post drafts, and documentation. The live preview helps you spot formatting issues immediately.

Is the Markdown preview tool free and private?

Yes — completely free, no account required. All rendering uses the marked library in your browser. No text is sent to any server.
