What is Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to write formatted text using a simple, readable syntax: # for headings, ** for bold, * for italic, - for lists, and [text](url) for links. It is the standard format on GitHub, Stack Overflow, Reddit, Discord, and many more platforms.

Our Editor Features

Live preview that updates as you type, full GFM table support with column alignment, code blocks with syntax highlighting for over 100 languages, task lists with checkboxes, and export to clean, semantic HTML with a single click.

Use Cases

Ideal for writing technical documentation, GitHub READMEs, blog posts, class notes, formatted emails, and any content that needs structure without the complexity of a word processor. Copy the generated HTML directly into your CMS or publishing system.

Essential Markdown Syntax

The basic syntax covers almost everything you need day to day. Use hash marks for headings (# for level 1, ## for level 2, and so on), two asterisks for bold and one for italic. Bulleted lists start with a hyphen and numbered lists with a number followed by a period. A link is written with the text in square brackets and the URL in parentheses, and an image is the same but with an exclamation mark in front. Inline code goes between backticks and code blocks between triple backticks.

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)

GFM extends classic Markdown with elements widely used in documentation and repositories. It adds tables with columns separated by vertical bars, task lists with checkable boxes, strikethrough text between double tildes, and automatic conversion of URLs into links. It also recognizes code blocks labeled with a language name to apply syntax highlighting. Our editor supports this full specification and shows the result live as you type.

A worked example

The Markdown editor in split view: the source of a short release note on the left and its rendered preview on the right, showing a heading, a bold list item, a blockquote and a two-column table. — A release note rendered as it is typed, with the source and the result side by side. Note the delimiter row of the table: written “| --- | --- |”, with the spaces most editors insert. The spaced form and the tight “|---|---|” are the same table, and the preview accepts either — a distinction worth knowing, because plenty of renderers quietly accept only one of them.
