Markdown preview
Enter values, then press Calculate.
Supports headings, bold, italic, lists, code, and links. Input is not sent to a server.
How to use
- Write headings, lists, and links in the Markdown field. The preview below updates as soon as you change the input.
- You can use
#headings,**bold**,*italic*,-lists, numbered lists, inline code,```code blocks, and[text](https://…)links. - Links are turned into new-tab links only for
http/https. - Tables, footnotes, checkboxes, and image syntax are not in this lightweight conversion.
- Reset clears the input and the preview returns to the hint text. Content is not saved.
- Paste a long README, scroll to check heading levels and lists look as intended, then copy the source into an editor. Table syntax is not supported in this preview.
Key concepts
Markdown preview HTML-escapes the source first, then turns only some syntax into tags. It is a lightweight conversion so scripts or arbitrary tags in the input do not run. It does not implement all of CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown, and there is no table, footnote, checkbox, or image syntax. Use it to eyeball notes, README drafts, and issue bodies.
Headings are # 1–6, bold is ** and __, italic is * and _, lists are - or numbers, and code is backticks and ``` blocks. Links open in a new tab only for http/https. If you do not close a code block, everything to the end is treated as code. It renders as you type; there is no save or send. GitHub README tables or checkboxes can look broken here, so do a final check in the repo or CMS preview.
Example
Put # Heading, then bold and inline code, - item, and [ex](https://example.com) and the preview shows a heading, emphasis, a bullet, and a link. Pipe-table syntax stays as a normal paragraph, and even if you type <script> it is shown as characters, not run as a tag. Paste an issue body, scroll to check that heading levels step down one by one, then copy the source. Only https links open in a new tab.

Frequently asked questions
Does markdown preview change as I type?
Yes. It renders immediately on the input event. There is no separate run button, only Reset.
If I paste HTML directly, does it run?
Tags are escaped first and shown as characters. It is a lightweight conversion so arbitrary scripts do not run.
Do GFM tables and checkboxes work?
No. It is centered on headings, emphasis, lists, code, and http(s) links. Pipe tables and task-list syntax can remain as ordinary paragraphs.
What about markdown code-block language highlighting?
There is no syntax highlighting. Content is shown only in <code>pre</code>, so the language name is mostly decorative.
Is the markdown I write saved?
No. It disappears when you close the page or click Reset. Copy the source into a local editor separately.
What about image syntax ?
It is not supported and may remain as escaped text close to the source. Link syntax opens only https URLs in a new tab.
