Common Errors & Fixes

Table does not render

Code block shows rendered HTML instead of raw code

Wrap the HTML inside a fenced code block with three backticks and specify the language: ```html ... ```.

Expert FAQ

Which Markdown spec does this follow?

The tool follows CommonMark with GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions, supporting tables, strikethrough, and task lists.

Can I export to HTML or PDF?

You can copy the rendered HTML. For PDF export, use the browser's 'Print → Save as PDF' feature.

Are HTML tags inside Markdown rendered?

Raw HTML within Markdown is allowed by CommonMark and is rendered. Be cautious with `<script>` tags.
