Markdown Previewer

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a simple way to format text using plain characters that are easy to read and write. It's the standard for README files on GitHub, documentation, forum posts, and note-taking apps. You write with simple marks — # for headings, **bold**, *italic*, - for lists — and it renders as clean formatted text.

Markdown quick reference

• # Heading — headings (more # for smaller)
• **bold** and *italic* — emphasis
• - item or 1. item — bullet and numbered lists
• [text](url) — links
• `code` and triple-backticks — inline and block code
• > quote — blockquotes
