The Markdown Previewer renders Markdown as you type: headings, bold, italics, links, images, lists, blockquotes and code blocks, plus GitHub-style tables, strikethrough and task lists. Use it to draft README files, blog posts and docs — content stays in your browser.

## How to use the Markdown Previewer

1. Type Markdown on the left, or press "Sample" to load an example document.
2. The rendered preview updates live on the right.
3. Press "Copy" to copy the generated HTML; to download an HTML file, use Markdown to HTML.

## FAQ

### Can I write HTML inside Markdown?

For safety, HTML tags are shown as text and not executed.

### Does it look the same as GitHub?

Common syntax (headings, lists, tables, code, task lists) renders the same; GitHub-specific features such as @mentions, Mermaid diagrams and math are not supported.

### How do I add a line break?

A single newline is merged into the same paragraph. End a line with two spaces or a backslash to force a break, or leave a blank line for a new paragraph.
