What this calculator does

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that developers use for README files, documentation, blog posts, and knowledge bases. This live preview tool renders Markdown syntax into formatted HTML in real time as you type. It supports CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) including tables, task lists, strikethrough, syntax-highlighted code blocks, and auto-linked URLs. The split-pane editor shows source and rendered output side by side. Use it to draft documentation before committing to a repository, preview blog posts written in Markdown, test complex table layouts, and verify that your Markdown renders correctly before publishing.

Markdown Preview FAQ

What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?▾
GFM extends standard Markdown with features specific to GitHub: tables, task lists (checkboxes), strikethrough text, auto-linked URLs, syntax-highlighted fenced code blocks, and emoji shortcodes. Most documentation platforms now support GFM as a standard.
How do I create a table in Markdown?▾
Use pipes (|) to separate columns and hyphens (-) for the header row separator: | Header 1 | Header 2 | followed by |----------|----------| and data rows. Colons in the separator row control alignment: :--- left, :---: center, ---: right.
Can I embed HTML inside Markdown?▾
Yes, most Markdown parsers allow inline HTML. This is useful for features Markdown does not support natively, like centered text, colored text, or collapsible sections using <details> and <summary> tags. However, some platforms restrict HTML for security.

  • Treating Markdown Preview output as a final professional diagnosis, quote, or legal determination
  • Entering approximate values when the result is sensitive to units or precision
  • Applying the FAQ answer (“What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?”) to a special case without checking assumptions
