# Try the Markdown editor

Edit this sample or replace it with your own Markdown. The preview updates as you type, and your draft stays in this browser.

## A few things to try

- Use **bold**, *italic*, and [links](https://themarkdowner.com).
- Format messy tables with the Format button.
- Turn on Sync Scroll when you are editing long documents.
- Drag the divider on desktop to give the editor or preview more room.

## Markdown table example

| Task | Status | Owner |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Draft product notes | In progress | You |
| Clean up Markdown tables | Ready | TheMarkdowner |
| Export documentation | Next | Docs team |

## Code block example

```js
const message = "Markdown stays private in your browser.";
console.log(message);
```

## Mermaid diagram preview

```mermaid
flowchart LR
  A[Write Markdown] --> B[Check Preview]
  B --> C{Looks Good?}
  C -->|Yes| D[Copy or Download]
  C -->|No| A
```

> Tip: your editor draft is saved locally in this browser, so you can return to it later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Markdown editor free to use?

Yes. You can use the editor without an account or subscription.

Are my documents saved or uploaded to a server?

No. The editor runs entirely in your browser. Your latest editor draft can be saved locally in your browser storage, but nothing you type or edit is uploaded to any server.

Does the Markdown editor support Mermaid diagrams?

Yes. Add a fenced Mermaid code block using ```mermaid, and the live preview will render the diagram in the browser.

Can I sync the Markdown editor and preview while scrolling?

Yes. On desktop, turn on Sync Scroll to keep the source editor and rendered preview aligned while reviewing longer Markdown documents.

Does the formatter change my text content?

No, the built-in formatter only normalizes whitespace, formats delimiters (like list markers), and aligns markdown tables. Your actual text remains unchanged.
