What the Markdown Preview does

This is a live Markdown editor with a split-screen view: type Markdown on the left and watch the formatted HTML appear on the right, instantly, as you write. There are no buttons to press and no waiting. It’s handy for anyone drafting a README, a GitHub issue, documentation, a forum post, or notes, and for people learning Markdown syntax who want to see exactly how each symbol renders.

The renderer understands the syntax you reach for most: headings (# through ######), bold, italic, inline code, fenced code blocks, bulleted and numbered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, links, and images.

How to use it

1. Open the page. The left pane loads with a short Markdown sample so you can see how it works right away.
2. Clear it and start typing, or paste your own Markdown into the left text area.
3. Watch the right pane update live as you type. No action button, the preview tracks every keystroke.
4. Keep editing until the rendered result on the right looks the way you want, then copy your Markdown source back into GitHub, your CMS, or wherever you need it.

Why preview it here

It’s quick because nothing is sent anywhere. Your text is converted to HTML entirely inside your browser, so your draft stays on your device. That makes it genuinely private, with no upload, no account, and no limits on how much you write. It works on a laptop or a phone, and the side-by-side layout makes mismatched syntax easy to spot before you publish.

Tip: wrap code in triple backticks for a code block, and use > at the start of a line for a blockquote. If a link or image is not appearing, check that the URL starts with http, https, mailto:, or /, since other schemes are ignored for safety.
