Markdown Editor

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to format text using plain text syntax that can be converted to HTML and other formats. The goal of Markdown is to be as readable as possible while still allowing for rich document formatting.

Unlike complex word processors, Markdown focuses on content rather than appearance. You can write using simple characters like asterisks for emphasis, hashes for headings, and brackets for links. This makes it ideal for documentation, README files, blog posts, and technical writing where content clarity is paramount.

Basic Markdown Syntax

Our Markdown editor supports all standard Markdown syntax elements. Here are the most commonly used:

• Headings: Use # for H1, ## for H2, ### for H3, and so on up to ######
• Emphasis: Use *text* for italic and **text** for bold formatting
• Lists: Use - or * for unordered lists, and 1. for ordered lists
• Links: Use [link text](URL) format for hyperlinks
• Images: Use  format for image embedding
• Code: Use `code` for inline code and ``` for code blocks
• Quotes: Use > at the beginning of a line for blockquotes
• Tables: Use pipes | to create table structures
• Horizontal Rules: Use --- or *** for dividers
