Markdown Cheat Sheet with Live Preview

Markdown covers most documentation needs with a dozen rules. The sample loaded above demonstrates every essential one: headings, bold and italic, links, lists, tables, and fenced code. Edit any line and the preview updates as you type.

Syntax Reference

Element Syntax Renders
Heading # Title large heading
Bold text strong text
Italic text emphasized text
Link label clickable link
List - item bullet list
Table | A | B | plus delimiter row data table
Code ```js fenced block highlighted code
Task - [ ] todo checkbox

Tables in Detail

| Feature | Status | Priority |
|:--------|:------:|----------:|
| Login   | Done   | High      |

Left, center, and right alignment come from colon placement. Keep cells simple: nested pipes and block elements inside table cells behave inconsistently across renderers.

Fenced Code Blocks

Open with three backticks plus a language, close with three backticks. The language hint drives highlighting and also documents intent for readers skimming source.

From Preview to Publish

READMEs, changelogs, wiki pages, and GitHub issues all accept this syntax. Draft here, copy the HTML or the source, and paste into your target. When tables grow complex enough to fight the syntax, that is the signal to switch to real HTML.

For table heavy documents see Markdown Table Generator, or compare drafts with the Diff Checker.
