About Markdown Editor
Write Markdown on one side and see the rendered result on the other, updating as you type. Markdown is the plain-text formatting syntax used by GitHub, Reddit, Notion, Discord and most documentation tools.
The syntax that covers most writing
A hash makes a heading and more hashes make smaller ones. Asterisks around text make it italic, doubled make it bold. A dash starts a bullet, a number starts an ordered list. Backticks mark code, and [text](url) makes a link. That set covers the vast majority of everyday documents.
Why does my Markdown render differently elsewhere?
Because there are several dialects. CommonMark is the strict specification; GitHub Flavored Markdown adds tables, task lists, strikethrough and automatic links. Tables in particular are not part of original Markdown, so a table that works on GitHub may render as plain text in a stricter renderer.
Why write in Markdown at all?
Because the file stays readable without the tool that made it. A Markdown document opens in any text editor, diffs cleanly in version control, and converts to HTML, PDF or Word without losing structure. Formatting locked inside a proprietary format does none of that.
