Frequently asked questions
Which markdown flavor is supported?+
A common subset of CommonMark: headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, inline & fenced code, links, images, blockquotes, ordered/unordered lists, horizontal rules. GFM extras like tables, task lists, and footnotes are not parsed.
Why does my README look different on GitHub?+
GitHub adds GFM (GitHub-Flavored Markdown) extensions plus its own CSS. Use this preview as a fast first pass — render the final on GitHub or your hosting platform if you depend on tables, alerts, or task lists.
Is the rendering safe?+
The renderer escapes raw HTML, so pasting hostile markdown won't execute scripts. Links open in a new tab with rel=noopener noreferrer.
