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.
