What is the ArrayKit Markdown Preview tool?

It is a live markdown preview that renders your Markdown to clean HTML side by side as you type, so you can check formatting for READMEs, docs and comments before publishing.

Does the Markdown Preview support GitHub-flavoured Markdown?

Yes. The Markdown Preview renders GFM, so tables, fenced code blocks and task-style lists all display correctly in the preview pane.

How do I copy or download the rendered HTML?

Click Copy HTML to send the rendered markup to your clipboard, or use the .html button to download it as a ready-to-use file.

Is the HTML from the Markdown Preview safe to reuse?

Yes. The output is sanitised, stripping scripts, iframes and inline event handlers so the rendered HTML stays safe to paste elsewhere.

Does the Markdown Preview keep single line breaks?

Yes. Single newlines render as line breaks, which matches how comments and chat-style Markdown usually behave.

Is my Markdown sent to a server when I use this preview?

No. Your Markdown is rendered entirely in your browser and never leaves your device.

About Markdown Preview

This markdown preview tool renders your Markdown to clean HTML side by side as you type, so you can see exactly how a README, doc, or comment will look. It supports GitHub-flavoured Markdown (GFM), including tables, fenced code blocks, task-style lists, blockquotes, links, and inline formatting. Use it as a quick markdown editor and markdown viewer to draft documentation, check formatting before pushing to a repo, or convert markdown to html and copy the result into a CMS. The rendered output is sanitised, with scripts and event handlers stripped for a safe preview. It is built for developers, technical writers, and QA who need a fast, accurate gfm preview. Everything is processed locally in your browser, so your draft never leaves your device.

Common errors & troubleshooting

A table does not render and shows as plain text. — GFM tables need a header row and a separator line of dashes and pipes, like | A | B | followed by | --- | --- |. Make sure each row has matching pipes.
A code block leaks formatting into the rest of the document. — Close every fenced block with a matching triple-backtick line. An unclosed fence makes the renderer treat the rest of the text as code.
Single line breaks are not preserved as expected. — This preview renders single newlines as line breaks; if you want separate paragraphs, leave a blank line between blocks of text.
Raw HTML tags like script or iframe disappear from the preview. — The output is sanitised, so scripts, iframes and inline event handlers are stripped by design. Use plain Markdown or safe inline HTML instead.
