Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown features are supported?
Everything in CommonMark plus GitHub Flavoured Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough with ~~ and automatic links. Raw HTML is allowed as long as it is safe.
Is the HTML output safe to use?
The HTML is cleaned with DOMPurify, which removes scripts, event handler attributes such as onerror and javascript: links. Still review content from untrusted sources before publishing it.
Why does a single line break not show up?
In Markdown a single new line joins lines into one paragraph. Leave a blank line between paragraphs, end a line with two spaces, or tick Line breaks to keep every new line.
What does the downloaded file contain?
A complete HTML page with your content and a small built in stylesheet, so it looks tidy when opened directly in a browser.
