Markdown Preview

Type Markdown on the left. The right side shows the formatted result. HTML tags in the text are shown as text, so a README cannot run script here.

What it is for?

Markdown is plain text with a few marks: # for a heading, - for a list, **bold**. README files, GitHub comments and changelogs use it. This page is a preview. It does not implement every CommonMark rule. Tables, footnotes and raw HTML are not turned into HTML.

What is recognised

  • Headings that start with # through ######.
  • Bullet lists with - or *, numbered lists with 1.
  • A line that is only --- or ***, shown as a horizontal rule.
  • A line starting with > as a quote.
  • Fenced code between triple backticks, and inline code between single backticks.
  • **bold** and *italic*.
  • Links and images, only when the address starts with http:// or https://. javascript: and relative paths are not made into links.

It stays in the browser

Nothing is sent to a server. The text stays in this tab. If you need a URL slug from a heading, use the slug tool.
