About This Tool

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that converts plain text to formatted HTML. Originally designed to be readable as plain text, it's now the standard for README files, technical documentation, blog posts, and comments on platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, and Notion.

When to Use

  • Previewing a README.md before pushing to GitHub.
  • Writing and formatting documentation, blog posts, or design specs.
  • Checking that a markdown template renders correctly across tools.

Practical Examples

Common syntax**bold**, *italic*, `code`, # Heading, - list item, > blockquote, [link](url)
GitHub Flavored MDGFM adds tables, task lists (- [x]), and fenced code blocks with syntax hints.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting blank lines between elements. Markdown requires a blank line before headings and between paragraphs.
  • Using HTML entities inside code blocks — they're rendered as-is in Markdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is this GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?A. Yes. This tool uses the 'marked' library with GFM enabled, so tables, strikethrough, and task lists are supported.
