FAQ

Markdown preview FAQ

Does the preview support GitHub-style Markdown?

It covers the most common Markdown syntax (headings, lists, code, links). Advanced GitHub extensions may render differently.

Is my Markdown sent to a server?

No. Rendering happens locally in your browser.

Can I copy HTML output?

Yes. Use the Copy HTML button to grab the rendered HTML.

Why does my layout look different from GitHub?

This tool focuses on clean, readable output and does not emulate GitHub's exact styling.

Does it sanitize unsafe HTML?

Yes. Raw HTML in the input is escaped to keep the preview safe.

Can I preview tables?

Basic tables are not included in this lightweight previewer yet.

How are line breaks handled?

Blank lines create new paragraphs; single line breaks are shown as line breaks inside the same paragraph.

What should I do if a feature is missing?

Let us know the syntax you need and we can expand the preview support.
