Worked examples
Concrete numbers and cases you can check against the tool above.
README with a code fence
Write ## Install then a fenced bash block. The preview should show a heading and a code panel, not literal backticks. Broken fences (three ticks opened, two closed) are the usual reason a whole file renders as code.
When to use Markdown Editor
README files, docs, and posts are written in Markdown. A split preview catches broken links and headings before you commit or publish.
Common use cases
- Draft a GitHub README with live formatting.
- Preview a changelog before releasing.
- Write documentation snippets for a knowledge base.
- Check list nesting and code fences visually.
Inputs and outputs
- Markdown (CommonMark-style) → HTML preview
