Description

Overview

This page explains what the tool does, when to use it, and how to test it quickly with a built-in sample.

Render Markdown into a safe HTML preview in real time.

Sample Input

Paste the sample below to check the processing flow immediately.

# Markdown Preview

- Astro
- Preact islands
- Browser-only tools

Use this tool when you want to check Markdown rendering quickly while writing docs, README files, or announcement drafts. It is designed for fast structural feedback before you paste content into another system.

Rendering happens only in the browser, and the preview HTML is sanitized before display. That keeps the preview safe and focused on readable output instead of script execution.

When to use it

  • When you want to see the layout of a README or documentation draft immediately
  • When you need to confirm that headings, lists, code blocks, and links render correctly
  • When you want to clean up Markdown structure before moving it into another platform

What to review in the preview

Markdown is simple, but document quality often comes down to structure.

  • Check whether heading levels flow naturally
  • Check whether lists and code blocks are visually distinct
  • Check whether links and surrounding paragraphs stay readable together

Common mistakes

  • Missing blank lines and making lists collapse into surrounding text
  • Closing fenced code blocks incorrectly
  • Skipping heading levels and creating an awkward document outline
  • Expecting the preview to reproduce a specific product’s custom CSS exactly

Example input

# Markdown Preview

- Astro
- Preact islands

Example output

<h1>Markdown Preview</h1>
<ul><li>Astro</li><li>Preact islands</li></ul>

FAQ

Will scripts run inside the preview?
No. The rendered HTML is sanitized before display, so risky tags and scripts are not executed.
Do I need to upload a file?
No. Paste text only.
Can I save the result?
Yes. You can download the rendered HTML output.
Does it help with GitHub-style markdown too?
Yes. It is suitable for checking standard Markdown plus common GFM-style syntax.
Why might it look different from a production site?
This tool provides a safe generic preview. It does not reproduce every custom CSS rule or application-specific component.
