Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber. It allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format that can be converted to structurally valid HTML. It's widely used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and comments.

Is my content saved?

Your content is temporarily stored in your browser's session while you work. For permanent storage, use the download feature to save your Markdown files locally. The editor maintains undo/redo history during your session.

Can I use extended Markdown syntax?

This editor supports core Markdown syntax. For extended features like tables, footnotes, or task lists, the preview may not render them fully. However, your Markdown text will remain valid for use in applications that support extended syntax.

Can I import existing Markdown files?

You can paste existing Markdown content directly into the editor. Simply copy your Markdown text from any source and paste it into the input area to continue editing.

Does it work offline?

Once loaded, the editor works entirely offline. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript, so you can continue writing even without an internet connection.
