Markdown in one minute
Start a line with # for a heading (## for a smaller one). Wrap words in **double asterisks** for bold and *single* for italic. Start lines with - or 1. for lists, and - [ ] for a checklist. Write a link as [text](https://example.com), and fence code between lines of three backticks.
Tables
Put a pipe between columns and a row of dashes under the header. Add colons to the dashes to align a column: :--- left, :---: centre and ---: right. The table button inserts a starter you can fill in.
Where your writing is kept
Your draft is saved in this browser's local storage after every change, so it's still here if you close the tab. It isn't sent anywhere and doesn't sync to other devices; download the .md file to keep a copy. Raw HTML in your Markdown is shown as text rather than run, and images from other websites aren't loaded in the preview.
