Which Markdown flavor does the editor support?
Most modern editors support GitHub Flavored Markdown, which extends CommonMark with tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinking, and fenced code blocks with language hints. Some also include footnotes, definition lists, math via KaTeX, and Mermaid diagrams. If your destination is GitHub or a static site generator like Hugo or Astro, GFM is the safe baseline.
How do I add a code block with syntax highlighting?
Wrap the code in three backticks, follow the opening fence with a language identifier such as js, py, go, or ts, and close with another three backticks. The renderer matches the identifier against its highlighter's grammar list. If the language is missing or unknown, the block renders without coloring but still preserves whitespace.
Why does my list rendering look wrong?
Markdown lists are sensitive to blank lines and indentation. A blank line separates paragraphs, while continuing a list item requires the next line to be indented the same as the content of the marker, typically two or four spaces. Mixing tabs and spaces is the most common cause of broken nesting. Stick to spaces inside list items.
Can I download or export the rendered HTML?
Yes. The editor produces clean HTML you can save as a .html file or copy to the clipboard. Some editors also export to PDF by printing the preview pane, and others to plain text by stripping markup. Inline images encoded as data URIs are preserved in HTML exports but inflate file size; switch to hosted URLs for shareable copies.
Is the preview safe from script injection?
A well-built editor sanitizes the rendered HTML so any embedded script tags are removed. If you are importing untrusted Markdown that may contain raw HTML, confirm the renderer uses a sanitizer like DOMPurify. CommonMark allows raw HTML by default, so a naive renderer leaves an XSS hole when rendering content from arbitrary users.
How do I add tables and align columns?
Use pipe-separated rows with a header row, a separator row of dashes, then your data. Add colons in the separator row to align: :--- for left, :---: for center, ---: for right. The columns do not need to line up visually in the source - the renderer handles alignment regardless of source spacing - but aligned source is much easier to maintain.
