About Markdown Previewer
A split-pane Markdown editor: type on the left, see rendered output on the right as you go. It supports the GitHub-flavoured extensions people actually use — tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, strikethrough and autolinks — not just the original 2004 specification.
The rendered HTML is sanitised before display, which means pasting Markdown from an untrusted source cannot inject scripts into this page. That matters for a preview tool, because Markdown permits raw HTML by design and a naive previewer is an easy cross-site scripting target.
You can copy the generated HTML for pasting into a CMS, or download it as a complete standalone file. A live word and character count sits under the editor, which is useful when writing to a length limit.

Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown flavour does it use?
GitHub Flavored Markdown, so tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, strikethrough and automatic linking all work. This is the variant most tools and platforms have converged on.
Is raw HTML in my Markdown preserved?
Safe HTML is rendered. Scripts, event handlers and other dangerous constructs are stripped by the sanitiser before anything reaches the page. This is deliberate — a previewer that executed whatever you pasted would be a security hole.
Is my document saved anywhere?
No. Everything stays in your browser's memory and is gone when you close the tab. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored, so copy anything you want to keep before leaving.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded. Rendering happens entirely on your device with no further network requests.
