Question 1

What is Markdown?

Accepted Answer

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you format plain text using simple symbols. For example, **bold**, *italic*, # headings, and - list items. It is widely used in README files, documentation, blogs, and note-taking apps like Notion and Obsidian.

Question 2

Can I import Word documents into the Markdown editor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the Import button in the toolbar and select Word (.docx), HTML, or RTF as the source format. The converter will transform your document into clean Markdown and load it into the editor.

Question 3

Does my text get saved automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your content is automatically saved to your browser's localStorage after each change, so it will still be there when you come back to the page. Use the Download button to save a permanent .md file to your device.

Question 4

Is my content sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All editing, preview rendering, and file conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your content never leaves your device.

Question 5

What Markdown syntax is supported?

Accepted Answer

The editor supports headings (H1–H4), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, task lists (checkboxes), links, images, horizontal rules, and tables.
