FAQ

What is GitHub Flavored Markdown?

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) is a superset of standard Markdown maintained by GitHub. It adds features like tables, task lists with checkboxes, strikethrough text, and automatic URL linking that are not part of the original Markdown specification.

Can I import an existing Markdown file?

Yes. You can drag and drop a .md file into the editor or use the file import button to load its contents. The preview will render immediately once the file is loaded.

Does the exported HTML include styling?

The default HTML export includes inline styles that closely match GitHub's rendering. You can also choose a plain export that outputs only semantic HTML without any styling, which is useful when you plan to apply your own CSS.
