Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Markdown Editor tool?

The Markdown Editor is a free online tool that lets you write and edit Markdown documents with a live preview. It features a Monaco editor with syntax highlighting, a comprehensive formatting toolbar, and real-time rendering using GitHub Flavored Markdown. You can upload existing Markdown files, use example templates, and download your work instantly.

How do I use the Markdown Editor?

Simply start typing Markdown syntax in the left editor panel, and you'll see the rendered output in real-time on the right preview panel. Use the formatting toolbar to quickly insert headings, lists, links, images, tables, and more. You can upload existing .md files by clicking Upload File or dragging and dropping them into the editor.

What Markdown features are supported?

The editor supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), including headings, bold/italic text, strikethrough, lists (ordered and unordered), task lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, blockquotes, tables, links, images, and horizontal rules. You can also use inline code, nested lists, and multi-line blockquotes.

Can I upload and download Markdown files?

Yes! You can upload existing Markdown files (.md or .markdown) by clicking the Upload File button or dragging and dropping them into the editor. Files up to 5MB are supported. You can download your edited Markdown at any time by clicking the Download button, which saves it as a .md file.

Does the editor support syntax highlighting?

Yes! The editor uses Monaco Editor (the same editor powering VS Code) with full syntax highlighting for Markdown. Code blocks in your Markdown preview also support syntax highlighting for multiple programming languages including JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and many more.

Is there a Markdown cheat sheet available?

Yes! Click the Cheat Sheet tab in the preview panel to view a comprehensive Markdown syntax reference. It covers all common Markdown syntax including text formatting, headers, lists, links, images, code blocks, tables, blockquotes, and horizontal rules with examples for each.

Can I use the formatting toolbar instead of typing syntax?

Absolutely! The formatting toolbar provides quick buttons for common Markdown operations. Select text and click toolbar buttons to apply bold, italic, strikethrough, code formatting, or convert to headers (H1-H6). You can also insert lists, task lists, blockquotes, links, images, tables, and code blocks with one click.

Is my Markdown content secure and private?

Yes! All editing and rendering happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. No Markdown content is uploaded to our servers or transmitted anywhere. Your documents remain completely private and secure on your device. No account or registration is required.
