Limitations and good to know

This is a deliberately small and safe renderer rather than a full CommonMark implementation. Not supported: images, tables, nested lists, footnotes and raw HTML. Raw HTML in your input, including script tags, is escaped and displayed as text. Links are limited to http, https and mailto addresses and open in a new tab; other link types are shown as plain text. If you need to publish the HTML, review it first.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to paste untrusted Markdown?

Yes. All input is escaped before any tags are produced, raw HTML is shown as text, and unsafe link types such as javascript: are removed.

Why is my table or image missing?

Tables and images are not supported by this lightweight previewer.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Rendering happens in your browser.
