Frequently Asked Questions
Which Markdown flavour is supported?
GitHub Flavoured Markdown, which builds on CommonMark with tables, task lists, strikethrough and automatic links. That is what GitHub, GitLab and most documentation tools use.
Is it safe to paste Markdown from an untrusted source?
Yes. The rendered HTML is sanitised before it is inserted, so embedded script tags and event handlers are stripped. Markdown allows raw HTML, which is why this matters.
Can I use this to write a README?
Yes — that is a common use. What you see here closely matches how GitHub will render it, though GitHub applies its own stylesheet and adds features such as issue autolinking.
Is my Markdown saved?
It stays in the page while the tab is open and is not sent anywhere. Copy or download anything you want to keep before closing.
Everything you paste stays in this page. Text tools run as JavaScript in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, logged or stored.
