LiveHow to use the Markdown live editor
Type Markdown on the left
Write standard Markdown syntax in the editor pane — headings, lists, links, tables, code and quotes all work.
Watch the live preview
The HTML preview refreshes on every keystroke, so you always see the final rendered document.
Use the formatting toolbar
Bold, italic, headings, links, images, code blocks, lists, quotes, tables and rules insert the right syntax at your cursor.
Export or share
Copy the rendered HTML, download the Markdown source as a .md file or export a complete .html document.

The preview tab shows the rendered document exactly as a browser would display it. The HTML source tab shows the raw markup produced by the Markdown parser, which is handy when you want to copy the HTML into an email, a CMS or a website template. The Copy HTML and Download .html buttons use that same markup.
