What it does

Checking how a README or changelog renders usually means pushing it to a repository or pasting it into an online editor. The Markdown Viewer in HackUtilities renders your text next to the editor as you type. Drafts of internal docs and release notes stay on your machine while you work on them.

Live preview

The rendered document updates as you type, with your Markdown in the left pane and the preview on the right.

GitHub Flavored Markdown

Rendering uses the marked library with GFM enabled, so tables, fenced code blocks, task lists and strikethrough work.

Line breaks preserved

Single newlines become line breaks in the preview, the way GitHub comments render them.

Copy Markdown or HTML

Copy your source text, or copy the rendered HTML to paste into a template or CMS.

Sample document

Load a sample with headings, a code block, a table and a blockquote to see how each element renders.

FAQ

Can I export Markdown as HTML?

Yes. Use Copy HTML to put the rendered HTML on your clipboard. The tool copies the markup produced by the renderer without styling.

Does the preview match GitHub exactly?

It follows GitHub Flavored Markdown through the marked library, but the styling is the app's own, so spacing and fonts differ from GitHub.
