Frequently Asked Questions
What Markdown features are supported?
The parser supports headings (h1–h3), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), unordered lists (- item), ordered lists (1. item), inline code (`code`), fenced code blocks (```), and hyperlinks ([text](url)).
Does the tool support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?
The parser handles the most common GFM elements. Advanced GFM features such as tables, task lists (- [ ]), footnotes, and strikethrough (~~text~~) are not currently supported but are planned additions.
Is the Markdown rendered safely without XSS risk?
Yes. The parser escapes all HTML special characters (< > &) before processing, ensuring that raw HTML tags in the Markdown input are displayed as text rather than executed as HTML. Only the Markdown parser's own output is rendered.
Can I export the rendered HTML?
Currently the tool is a live preview only. Copying the rendered HTML is possible by right-clicking the preview pane and using your browser's "Inspect" or "Copy element" feature. An "Export HTML" button is a planned future feature.
