A lightweight markup language used in GitHub READMEs, documentation, blogs, and content platforms.

What syntax is supported?

GitHub-Flavored Markdown: headings, bold, italic, links, images, code blocks, tables, task lists.

Can I export to HTML?

Yes. The preview shows rendered HTML. You can copy the HTML source for web pages.

What is the difference between Markdown and HTML?

Markdown is a lightweight syntax that converts to HTML. It uses simple characters like # for headings and * for emphasis. HTML is the full markup language with tags. Markdown is easier to write but less powerful.

Can I use HTML inside a Markdown document?

Yes. Most Markdown processors allow inline HTML. You can mix HTML tags directly in Markdown for features not supported by Markdown syntax, like tables with colspan or custom div styling.
