What is Markdown Viewer?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that converts to HTML. It was designed to be readable as plain text while also being convertible to formatted HTML. Headings use `#` symbols, emphasis uses `*` or `_`, links use `[text](url)` syntax, and code blocks are fenced with backticks.

This viewer renders Markdown to HTML in real time, so you can instantly see what your Markdown will look like when published. The rendered output can be copied as HTML for use in web pages, email templates, or any system that accepts HTML.

How to Use Markdown Viewer

1

Paste or type Markdown in the left panel.

2

The rendered HTML preview appears on the right in real time.

3

Click "Copy HTML" to copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard.

Common Use Cases

  • Previewing Markdown before pasting it into a CMS or GitHub.
  • Checking that Markdown tables and code blocks render correctly.
  • Converting Markdown to HTML for use in email templates.
  • Viewing README files or documentation written in Markdown.
