A Markdown viewer turns Markdown text into a formatted document. This one runs in your browser: paste Markdown or open a .md file, and it shows the headings, lists, tables and code as you'd read them. You can save the result as Markdown, as a standalone HTML file, or as a PDF through your browser's print dialog. Nothing is uploaded, and the page doesn't keep your document.

## How it works

1. Paste your Markdown, or drop one or more .md files onto the page.
2. Read the rendered view. Raw HTML shows as text, and remote images show as their alt text.
3. Choose a format: Markdown, HTML, or Print to save a PDF.
4. Close the tab when you're done. The page doesn't save your document.

## What it renders

- Headings, lists, links, quotes, code
- Tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, footnotes
- Shown as code: math and diagram blocks
- Shown as text: raw HTML
- Shown as alt text: remote images

## What each format saves

| Format | What you get |
|---|---|
| Markdown (.md) | The text as you pasted or opened it. |
| HTML (.html) | A standalone file with its own styles. Remote images are kept as their alt text and a plain link, like the viewer. |
| PDF | Through your browser's print dialog. The browser decides the paper size and whether its own header and footer print; the page can't change that. |

## Questions about the Markdown viewer

### Is my Markdown uploaded anywhere?

No. The page renders and converts your text in your browser. After it loads, the only requests it sends are site analytics, such as which format you saved and how many documents were open, not your text or file names.

### Why don't the images in my document show?

A remote image makes your browser ask another server for it, which tells that server your document is open. The viewer shows the image's alt text instead. Images embedded in the Markdown itself still show.

### How do I save a PDF?

Choose Print or save as PDF, then pick Save as PDF as the destination in your browser's print dialog. Only the document prints, not the page around it.

### Can the Markdown run scripts?

No. Raw HTML in a document appears as text instead of running, and links open in a new tab without passing on where you came from.

### Which Markdown does it support?

GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks and footnotes. Math and diagram blocks show as code.

### Can something write these documents for me?
