Practical guide

How to use Markdown Preview

Write Markdown and preview the formatted output instantly. Useful for README files, documentation, notes, blog drafts and issue comments.

Common uses

  • Preview README files
  • Draft documentation
  • Write formatted notes
  • Check headings, lists and code blocks

Good practice

Compare the preview with the renderer where the document will be published because Markdown dialects differ. Check links, code fences, lists, and heading order.

Data handling

Preview non-sensitive drafts. Remove access tokens, internal URLs, customer information, and unreleased material before using an online editor.
