Markdown cheat sheet
Markdown lets you format text with a few plain characters. Here are the essentials this editor supports:
| Type this | To get |
|---|---|
# Heading | A large heading (use ## and ### for smaller) |
**bold** | bold text |
*italic* | italic text |
- item | A bullet list (use 1. for numbered) |
[text](url) | A link |
`code` | Inline code |
> quote | A block quote |
| a | b | | A table row (GitHub-flavored) |
Is it private and safe?
Yes. Your Markdown is rendered inside your browser using your own device — nothing is uploaded. Draft blog posts, internal docs and private notes never leave your computer, and the page keeps working even offline once loaded.
Frequently asked questions
Does it support GitHub-Flavored Markdown?
Yes — tables, fenced code blocks and strikethrough all render the way they do on GitHub.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Rendering runs entirely in your browser; your Markdown is never sent anywhere.
Can I export the result?
Yes — copy the rendered HTML, or download a standalone .html file you can open in any browser.
What is Markdown?
A simple plain-text way to format documents that converts to clean HTML. It powers README files, docs sites and many note-taking apps.
How are single line breaks handled?
A single newline becomes a line break and a blank line starts a new paragraph — the intuitive behavior most editors use.
