What is a Markdown Viewer?
Our Markdown Viewer is a fast, interactive tool for reading, writing, and rendering Markdown (\`.md\`) files. Markdown is the universal plain-text formatting language used across GitHub, developer documentation, static site generators, and note-taking applications. This tool renders your raw markup into beautiful, styled HTML in real time.
How to Use the Markdown Viewer
- Open or Type Markdown: Drag and drop a \`.md\` file onto the drop zone, or type directly into the left editor pane.
- Live HTML Sync: As you edit, the right preview pane updates instantly with rendered headers, tables, code blocks, and list items.
- Export & Share: Copy raw Markdown or formatted HTML directly to your clipboard, or click to download exported \`.md\` and \`.html\` files.
Why Client-Side Privacy Matters for Documents
Developer notes, project READMEs, and technical documentation often contain proprietary internal system architecture details. Unlike online converters that upload your text files to external servers, our tool parses all Markdown locally on your CPU via client-side JavaScript. Your notes never leave your web browser.

- Tables & Task Lists: Custom data tables, bullet points, numbered lists, and interactive checkboxes.
