Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?+
Markdown is a lightweight markup language using plain text formatting (# for headings, **bold**, *italic*, - for lists) that converts to HTML. It's used on GitHub, Reddit, Notion, Stack Overflow, and many other platforms.
What is GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?+
GFM extends standard Markdown with tables, task lists (- [ ] item), fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, and @mention syntax. This editor supports GFM.
How do I export Markdown as a PDF?+
Click 'Export PDF' to use the browser's print function. For custom formatting, use the Markdown to PDF tool which uses pdf-lib.
Can I use this for GitHub README files?+
Yes. This editor uses the same Markdown flavour as GitHub, so the preview closely matches how your README will look on GitHub.
