How it works

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a plain-text formatting syntax: you write readable text with a few symbols — # for headings, ** for bold, - for list items — and it converts to clean HTML. It’s the language behind GitHub READMEs, most static-site content, and the prose in Quarto and R Markdown documents.

This previewer supports the essentials: headings, bold/italic, inline and fenced code, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, links, images, horizontal rules and GitHub-style tables.

Do it in R / Quarto

In a Quarto or R Markdown document you just write Markdown between your code chunks — Quarto renders it for you. To convert a Markdown string to HTML in R:

# From a string
markdown::mark_html(text = "# Hello\n\nSome **bold** text.")

# Render a whole document to HTML, PDF or Word
quarto::quarto_render("report.qmd")

New to the syntax? Work through our free interactive Markdown course, where each lesson has a live editor just like this one.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser with a small JavaScript renderer — there are no network requests and nothing is stored. You can even use it offline.

Which Markdown flavour does it use?

A practical subset close to GitHub Flavored Markdown: headings, emphasis, code, lists, blockquotes, links, images, rules and pipe tables. For document-specific features (cross-references, citations, callouts) see Learn Quarto.

Can I paste the result into my site?

Yes — click Copy HTML to copy the rendered markup, or copy the formatted text straight from the preview pane.
