How does the live preview work?
As you type Markdown in the editor on the left, the rendered HTML preview updates instantly on the right. The preview supports GitHub Flavored Markdown including tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting.
Is my content saved automatically?
Yes. The editor auto-saves your work to your browser's localStorage every 3 seconds. When you return to the page, your content is restored automatically. All data stays on your device and is never sent to any server.
What keyboard shortcuts are available?
The editor supports Ctrl+B (bold), Ctrl+I (italic), and Ctrl+K (insert link). You can also use the formatting toolbar at the top to insert headings, lists, code blocks, tables, images, and more.
Can I export my Markdown document?
Yes. Use the Export dropdown to download your document as a .md file (raw Markdown) or as an .html file (rendered HTML). The exported files are generated entirely in your browser.
Does the editor work offline?
Once the page is loaded, the editor works entirely in your browser with no server communication. All formatting, preview rendering, auto-save, and export features work offline.
