Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting to create structured documents. It's widely used for README files, documentation, note-taking, and content writing.
Can I edit existing Markdown files?
Yes! Click the "Open File" button to upload an existing .md file from your computer. It will load into the editor where you can make changes and download the updated version.
Is my work saved automatically?
Yes, your content is automatically saved to your browser's localStorage. If you close the page and come back, your work will still be there.
What is the difference between this and the Markdown Preview?
The Markdown Writer is focused on file creation and management — you can upload, edit, name, and download .md files. The Markdown Preview is focused on live HTML rendering and copying the output.
