What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004: # makes a heading, **text** makes bold, - makes a list. It converts to HTML but stays perfectly readable as plain text — which is why it powers GitHub READMEs, documentation sites, Reddit, Discord and most developer blogs.
A live preview shows the rendered output as you type, catching formatting mistakes (a missing space after #, an unclosed code block) before you publish. This editor supports GitHub Flavored Markdown including tables.

- 02The right pane shows a live rendered preview that updates as you type.
