Frequently asked questions

Which Markdown flavour does the editor support?

CommonMark plus GitHub-flavoured Markdown extensions: tables, task lists, strikethrough and automatic links.

Can I use it just as a Markdown previewer?

Yes. Paste existing Markdown, such as a README, and the preview shows how it will look. You don’t need to change anything to see the result.

Can I use HTML inside Markdown?

Basic HTML is allowed, but the preview removes scripts and other unsafe content before displaying it.

Is my document saved?

No. Nothing is stored online or in your browser, so download the .md file or copy your text before leaving the page.
