Local Publish Checklist

Structure Check heading order, table alignment, code fences, image paths and link targets before publishing.

HTML safety The preview and HTML export are sanitized in the browser, but untrusted HTML still needs review in your target CMS or docs system.

Privacy Drafts auto-save in this browser. Remove private notes, client details and unreleased content before copying or exporting.

This Markdown editor provides a split-pane writing environment with live preview, letting you write in Markdown syntax on the left and see the formatted output on the right in real time. It supports full GitHub-Flavoured Markdown including tables, task lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, and embedded images. Export your document as HTML, copy the rendered output, or download the raw Markdown file. The editor is perfect for developers writing documentation, bloggers drafting posts, students taking notes, and anyone who prefers writing in plain text with lightweight formatting. Everything runs locally with no account required.

Sources and methodology

The preview is generated from the Markdown you type or paste using marked with GFM mode, then sanitized with DOMPurify before display and export.

Before publishing

Check heading order, broken links, image paths, code fences, table alignment, embedded HTML, private comments, client details, and how the exported HTML renders in your target CMS, docs site, repository, or email tool.

Privacy and limitations

Drafts are stored locally in this browser unless you copy, download, or clear them. This editor does not publish to GitHub, CMS platforms, email systems, or documentation hosts, and sanitizer output still needs review for your target system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AfroTools Markdown Editor support GitHub Flavored Markdown?

Yes. The editor uses the marked.js library with GFM mode enabled, supporting tables, fenced code blocks, strikethrough, task lists, and autolinks out of the box.

Can I export my markdown to HTML?

Yes. AfroTools Markdown Editor offers three export options: download as a .md file, download as a styled .html file, or copy the raw HTML to your clipboard for pasting into other applications.

Is my content stored or saved?

Your content is auto-saved locally in your browser. Use Markdown, HTML, or copy exports when you need to move the draft to another device or publishing system. You can clear the saved content at any time.

Does the markdown editor work offline?

Once the required browser libraries have loaded, editing, preview rendering, local auto-save, and exports run in your browser without sending draft content to AfroTools.

How do I create a markdown table quickly?

Click the "Table+" button in the toolbar to open the table generator. Enter the number of rows and columns, and a properly formatted markdown table template will be inserted at your cursor position.
