Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown does it support?
GitHub Flavored Markdown: headings, bold and italic, links, images, lists, task lists, tables, block quotes, code blocks, strikethrough and horizontal rules.
Is my text saved?
Your draft is kept in this browser, so it's still there if you close the tab. It isn't uploaded anywhere. Download it as a .md file to keep a copy.
Can I get the HTML?
Yes. Copy the HTML, or download it as a ready-to-open HTML page with simple styling.
Is HTML inside Markdown allowed?
Basic HTML is shown in the preview, but scripts and other unsafe code are removed first, so pasted content can't run anything.
