Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber. It allows writers to apply formatting to plain text elements (like bolding, italics, or headers) without dealing with clunky HTML tags directly.
Do you support HTML exports?
Yes! By toggling the right panel to "HTML Code", you can instantly copy the pure HTML strings generated by your markdown text.
Can I embed images?
Absolutely. You can embed images using standard markdown syntax ``. As long as the URL is accessible to your browser, the image will display perfectly in the preview pane.
