What Is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses simple, readable syntax to format text without needing a full word processor. You write plain text with symbols like # for headings, ** for bold, and - for lists, and the result converts cleanly to HTML. Markdown is the standard format on GitHub, GitLab, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and countless other platforms. Learning Markdown takes minutes, but it saves hours of formatting work over time.

How to Use This Editor

Type or paste your Markdown into the left pane. The right pane updates instantly with the rendered HTML preview. The editor supports all standard Markdown syntax including headings, bold and italic text, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and tables. When you are satisfied with the output, use the "Copy HTML" button to grab the rendered HTML source code, or "Copy Markdown" to copy the raw Markdown text to your clipboard.
