Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber. It allows you to write formatted content using plain text syntax. It's widely used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and note-taking.
Is my content saved automatically?
Yes! Your content is automatically saved to your browser's localStorage every few seconds. When you return to this page, your content will be restored. Note that clearing browser data will delete the saved content.
What code languages are supported for syntax highlighting?
We use highlight.js which supports 180+ programming languages including JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, Ruby, Go, Rust, SQL, HTML, CSS, and many more. Just specify the language after the opening code fence (```javascript).
Can I export my document with styling?
Yes! The "Export HTML" option creates a standalone HTML file with embedded CSS styling. It will look exactly like the preview. You can open it in any browser or use it as a web page.
Is my data secure?
100% secure. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your content is never uploaded to any server. We can't see or access your documents.
