Frequently Asked Questions
Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
The tool supports most common GFM features including headings, code blocks, lists, blockquotes, links, and strikethrough. Full GFM table support and task lists require a more advanced parser.
Can I paste complex Markdown with nested lists?
Simple nesting is supported. For very deeply nested or complex Markdown, consider using our inline preview to verify the output before using it.
Is my text kept private?
Yes. All Markdown parsing happens inside your browser using JavaScript. No text is ever sent to any server.
