About Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed to be readable as plain text while converting easily to formatted HTML. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it is now the standard format for README files on GitHub, documentation, forum posts, blog content, and notes applications. This previewer renders Markdown in real time so you can see the formatted output as you type.
Common Markdown syntax
# Heading 1,## Heading 2,### Heading 3**bold**or__bold__*italic*or_italic_[Link text](https://example.com)for images- Backtick for inline code:
`code` - Triple backtick for code blocks with optional language:
```javascript - itemor* itemfor unordered lists;1. itemfor ordered> textfor blockquotes---for a horizontal rule
Markdown flavours
The original Markdown specification left many edge cases ambiguous. CommonMark is a modern, unambiguous specification that most tools now follow. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extends CommonMark with extras like tables, task lists (- [x] done), and automatic URL linking. This previewer follows CommonMark.
