Markdown Preview
Write Markdown and see the result right next to it. Headings, lists, tables, code, quotes and checkboxes are supported, and you can copy the finished HTML. Optionally preview it with the same renderer the boards use (converted on the server).
Preview
By default your text is processed in this browser only and never sent to the server (it is sent for conversion only if you turn on “Same renderer as the boards” above). The browser preview can differ from how the board renders posts in details such as line breaks and some syntax.
Paste content copied from a web page, or HTML source, to turn it into Markdown. Pasting formatted content directly works too.
Content copied from a web page arrives as HTML with its formatting (headings, lists, tables, links). Scripts, styles and event attributes are not read.
The HTML you enter is converted inside this browser by extracting text only; it is never run, drawn on screen or sent to a server. Images are written as Markdown with their address and not loaded. Merged cells, nested tables and complex layouts are flattened, so check and tidy the result.
Supported syntax
- Headings: # to ###### · bold **text** · italic *text* · strikethrough ~~text~~ · code `text`
- Lists: - item / 1. item (indent to nest) · checkboxes: - [ ] todo, - [x] done
- Links: [text](https://…) or just paste a URL · quote: > text · rule: ---
- Code block: wrap in ``` · table: | cell | cell | with a |---|---| row
- Raw HTML is not interpreted and is shown as text. Images (![]) are not loaded and appear as links only, so the preview never makes outside requests.
Send this text to another tool
The text is not put in the address; it moves only inside this browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
FAQ
Why do images not show?
To keep the preview from sending requests to arbitrary outside addresses, images are shown as links instead of being loaded.
What happens to HTML tags?
They are not executed and appear exactly as typed. This is a safety measure.
What does Copy HTML contain?
An HTML fragment with structural tags such as headings, paragraphs and lists (no styles). All text and attributes are safely escaped.
What is different about the boards renderer?
When on, your text is sent to the server and converted by the very same converter (CommonMark plus sanitizing) that board posts use, so details like line breaks, tables and auto-links match. Nothing is saved or logged, but the text does travel to the server — keep secrets on the default browser preview.
