Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown syntax is supported?
Full CommonMark plus GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) — headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, code blocks with syntax highlighting, tables, task lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and more.
Is my content saved?
Your content is saved to your browser's localStorage automatically as you type. It persists across page reloads but stays on your device — nothing is sent to any server.
Can I export my work?
Yes. You can download your content as a .md Markdown file or copy the rendered HTML to clipboard. Both options are available in the toolbar.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once loaded, the editor works entirely offline. Markdown parsing happens in your browser using the 'marked' library — no internet needed.
Can I use this for README files?
Absolutely. The GFM support means tables, task lists, and fenced code blocks all render correctly — perfect for GitHub README files, documentation, and blog posts.
Is there a word count?
Yes. The status bar shows live word count, character count, and line count as you type.
