What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup syntax for writing formatted text in plain text. It lets you write headings, lists, links, code blocks, emphasis, and tables without hand-authoring full HTML.

What Can You Do Here?

This editor provides a Markdown source panel, a rendered preview panel, live updates as you type, paste and clear controls, source copy, HTML copy, rendered-text copy, and a preview word count.

How to Use the Markdown Editor

  1. Write Markdown in the left editor.
  2. Watch the preview update on the right, or click Preview to refresh.
  3. Use headings, bold, italic, lists, links, code fences, and tables as needed.
  4. Copy the Markdown source, generated HTML, or rendered preview text.

Common Use Cases

  • Drafting README files and project documentation.
  • Writing technical notes and blog drafts.
  • Previewing issue comments or release notes.
  • Checking Markdown tables, code fences, and links before publishing.

Markdown and HTML Safety

Markdown is rendered to HTML in the browser. This implementation sanitizes rendered HTML with DOMPurify before inserting it into the preview, which reduces the risk of script injection in the preview area.

Privacy and Processing

Markdown parsing and preview rendering happen in the browser using loaded JavaScript libraries. The tool does not submit your Markdown to a Laravel processing endpoint.
