Example: Markdown Preview and Formatter
A local worked example using the inputs and settings below for markdown preview and formatter.
Options
- Supported syntax
- Use the shown heading, list, table and code-block forms. Unsupported syntax may remain literal rather than receiving the behavior of another Markdown renderer.
- Raw HTML and images
- Raw HTML remains text, and preview images do not contact their URLs. The preview therefore differs from a publisher that enables HTML or remote images.
Supported inputs and limits
Where your input is processed
This tool processes your input in this browser. Your text and files are not uploaded to UseFreeTools. Check this tool's limits for anything it may save on your device.
Preview is specific to this renderer
Inspect the normalized source as well as the visual preview. A destination can interpret tables, links and line breaks differently. Keep the original text until you have checked the result in the application where it will be published.
Questions about Markdown Preview and Formatter
Can the preview run pasted scripts?
No. The supported preview creates text and allowed structural elements. Raw HTML remains text.
Will normalization rewrite my wording?
It changes supported structural formatting, not the words inside paragraphs. Review the output before replacing your source.
Can the preview load external images?
No. It does not fetch remote image URLs.
