Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Markdown data sent to a server?

No. All Markdown parsing and HTML rendering happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your content never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy and security for your documents.

Can I export the rendered HTML?

Does this support syntax highlighting for code blocks?

Basic code blocks are supported with monospace font and background styling. While this tool doesn't include full syntax highlighting libraries, you can wrap your code in triple backticks with a language identifier (e.g., ```javascript) and it will display properly in a code block.
