What is Markdown and what is it used for?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using plain text syntax. It's widely used for README files on GitHub, documentation, technical writing, note-taking, blogging, and web content. Markdown is easy to write and read in plain text while converting to beautifully formatted HTML.

Is my Markdown content safe and private?

Absolutely safe. Your Markdown files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Files are never uploaded to our servers, stored in the cloud, or transmitted over the internet. This makes DocsYogi perfect for viewing confidential documentation, private notes, proprietary technical writing, and sensitive README files.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

The viewer supports standard Markdown syntax plus GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions. This includes headings, paragraphs, emphasis (bold, italic), code blocks with syntax highlighting, inline code, lists, nested lists, tables, links, images, blockquotes, horizontal rules, task lists, and strikethrough text.

Can I see syntax highlighting in code blocks?

Yes! Code blocks display with beautiful syntax highlighting for 180+ programming languages. Simply specify the language after the opening code fence (```javascript, ```python, etc.) in your Markdown file. The viewer automatically applies appropriate color schemes for each language, making code samples readable and professional.

What is the difference between Preview, Source, and Split modes?

Preview mode shows fully rendered Markdown as formatted HTML, perfect for reading. Source mode displays raw Markdown syntax with optional line numbers, useful for editing or copying. Split mode shows both side-by-side, ideal for learning Markdown syntax or comparing source with output.

Can I view tables in Markdown?

Yes, Markdown tables (GitHub-Flavored Markdown syntax) are fully supported with proper cell alignment (left, center, right), borders, and formatting. Tables render as clean HTML tables with proper spacing and styling, making data presentation clear and professional in your documentation.

Does the viewer work with README.md files from GitHub?

Yes! The viewer fully supports GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM), the same format used for README.md files on GitHub. Features like tables, task lists, strikethrough, and syntax-highlighted code blocks work exactly as they appear on GitHub, making it perfect for reviewing README files offline or privately.

Can I copy the rendered HTML or Markdown source?

Yes, you can copy both the rendered content (from Preview mode) and the raw Markdown source (from Source mode). Use the copy buttons or select and copy text normally. Perfect for extracting content, copying code samples, or transferring Markdown between documents and applications.
