Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Markdown Live Preview?

It's a free online Markdown editor with a real-time side-by-side preview. Type or paste Markdown on the left and instantly see the rendered output on the right, including Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX math, and syntax-highlighted code.

Does it support Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX math?

Yes. Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, sequence diagrams, etc.) render as interactive SVG directly in the preview. LaTeX/KaTeX math renders both inline ($...$) and display ($$...$$) equations in real time.

How do I export to HTML?

Use the 'Copy HTML' button to copy the rendered HTML to your clipboard, or 'Download .html' to save a standalone HTML file with embedded styles that looks exactly like the preview.

Can I upload an existing Markdown file?

Yes. Click 'Upload .md' in the toolbar to load a Markdown file into the editor. The preview updates immediately.

What keyboard shortcuts are available?

Ctrl/Cmd+B for bold, Ctrl/Cmd+I for italic, Ctrl/Cmd+K for links, and Ctrl/Cmd+E for inline code. Select text first to wrap it, or use without selection to insert a placeholder.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes. The Live Preview editor is completely free with no sign-up required. Everything runs in your browser — your content is never sent to a server.
