Markdown Editor

A two-pane Markdown editor: write on the left, see the rendered document on the right in real time. Supports headings, bold/italic, links, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables and horizontal rules. The preview is sanitized, so pasted HTML cannot inject scripts.

  • Live side-by-side preview
  • Sanitized HTML output
  • Copy HTML / download .md
  • Word count built in

Limitations

  • Preview covers core Markdown (CommonMark plus GFM tables); exotic extensions may not render.
  • Preview HTML is sanitized for safety, which intentionally strips scripts and dangerous attributes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the preview safe for untrusted Markdown?

Yes — rendered HTML passes through DOMPurify, which removes scripts and event handlers before display.

Which Markdown flavors are supported?

CommonMark basics plus GFM-style tables, task lists and fenced code blocks.

Can I export HTML?

Yes — copy the rendered HTML to the clipboard or download a complete .html file.
