How to use: preview markdown as rendered HTML
Write markdown on the left and see the rendered HTML on the right, with syntax highlighting and sanitized output.
- 1
Open the Markdown Previewer
Go to makemytxt.com/markdown-previewer. A sample document loads so you can see the editor and preview in action.
- 2
Replace with your own markdown
Type or paste GitHub-flavored markdown: headings, links, lists, images, tables, fenced code blocks, task lists, and blockquotes are all supported.
- 3
Watch the preview update
The right pane renders your markdown in real time. Code blocks get syntax highlighting via highlight.js, and the HTML is sanitized by DOMPurify before being inserted.
- 4
Copy or download
Use Copy to copy the raw markdown, or Download to save it as a .md file you can commit to a repo or open in any editor.
Frequently asked questions
- Which markdown flavor does the preview support?
- It uses marked with GitHub-flavored markdown defaults: tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks with language tags. Strict CommonMark features still work.
- Is the rendered HTML sanitized?
- Yes. Output goes through DOMPurify before it is rendered, so arbitrary <script> or malicious attributes from pasted markdown cannot execute.
- Does it support mermaid diagrams or math?
- Not yet — the previewer focuses on core markdown. Mermaid and KaTeX would significantly increase bundle size and are better handled by dedicated tools.
- How does the preview update — is there a render button?
- No button. As you type, the right pane updates live. Parsing markdown and rendering a few thousand lines takes only a few milliseconds in a modern browser.
