What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It lets you write formatted text using plain-text syntax that's easy to read and write. Markdown is used everywhere — GitHub READMEs, documentation sites, blog posts, note-taking apps, and static site generators like Astro, Hugo, and Jekyll.
Why Use a Markdown Editor?
A live-preview Markdown editor helps you write faster by showing you the rendered output as you type. You can catch formatting mistakes immediately, experiment with syntax, and copy the final HTML for use in any web project. Our editor supports headings, bold, italic, links, code blocks, lists, blockquotes, and horizontal rules.
Markdown Syntax Quick Reference
Use # through ###### for headings. Wrap text in**double asterisks** for bold, *single asterisks* for italic. Create links with [text](url). Start lines with - for unordered lists or 1. for ordered lists. Use triple backticks for code blocks and single backticks for inline code.
