Markdown Previewer
Edit Markdown with real-time preview.
Markdown syntax guide
Edit this document on the left and the preview updates as you type. Clear it whenever you want to start on your own text.
Headers
Add one # for each level, from # (largest) down to ###### (smallest):
# This is a Heading h1
## This is a Heading h2
### This is a Heading h3
#### This is a Heading h4
##### This is a Heading h5
###### This is a Heading h6
Levels 2 through 6 are rendered below. This sample leaves out the rendered # so the page keeps a single level-1 heading — its title — but a # line in your own document works exactly the same way.
This is a Heading h2
This is a Heading h3
This is a Heading h4
This is a Heading h5
This is a Heading h6
Emphasis

Images
Images use the link syntax with a ! in front: alt text in the brackets, the image location in the parentheses.


Paste a full URL or a path relative to wherever the exported HTML will live, and the preview pane loads it exactly as a browser would.

Blockquotes
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text-formatting syntax, created in 2004 by John Gruber with Aaron Swartz.
Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor.
