Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting syntax. It lets you write content with simple symbols like # for headings, ** for bold, - for lists, and backticks for code, which are then rendered as styled HTML. Markdown is widely used for documentation, README files, technical writing, and content management systems.
What themes are available?
The converter includes 5 professional themes: Default (clean sans-serif, great for general use), Resume (formal serif with compact spacing for CVs), Report (formal with dark-header tables for business documents), Documentation (GitHub-inspired with blue links for technical docs), and Letter (elegant serif with warm tones for correspondence).
Can I import an existing Markdown file?
Yes. Click the "Import .md" button in the toolbar to load a .md, .markdown, or .txt file from your computer. The content will replace the current editor text and the preview updates immediately. Your imported content is also saved to local storage so you do not lose it on refresh.
Does the PDF support multi-page documents?
Yes. The exported PDF automatically splits long content across multiple pages. You can choose from A4, Letter, or Legal page sizes, and adjust margins to Narrow, Normal, or Wide. The content is rendered at 2x resolution for sharp text on all displays.
Is my content stored on a server?
No. All Markdown parsing, live preview rendering, and PDF generation happen entirely in your browser. Your content is saved to your browser's local storage so it persists between sessions, but it is never uploaded to any server. Your documents remain completely private.
What Markdown features are supported?
The editor supports standard Markdown syntax including headings, bold, italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, tables, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and inline code. The preview updates in real time with a 200ms debounce for smooth performance.
