How to Use the Markdown Previewer
This tool provides a live editor for writing in Markdown, a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text. As you type your Markdown syntax in the input box, you will see a real-time preview of the rendered HTML on the right.
- Write Markdown: Type your text using Markdown syntax in the left-hand text area. For example, use `# Heading` for a main heading or `**bold text**` for bold.
- See the Preview: The right-hand panel will instantly update to show you how your Markdown will look when rendered as HTML.
- Format & Copy: Use the "Format Markdown" button to clean up your syntax and the "Copy Markdown" button to grab your code.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is Markdown?
A: Markdown is a simple way to add formatting like headings, bold, italics, lists, and links to plain text. It's widely used for writing documentation, creating content for the web (like blog posts), and taking notes.
Q: Is the preview exactly how it will look on my website?
A: The preview shows the correct HTML structure, but the final appearance (fonts, colors, spacing) will depend on your website's own CSS stylesheets. This tool gives you a general, unstyled representation.
