About this Markdown preview
Markdown is plain text with a few simple marks for headings, links, lists and emphasis. Write on the left and the formatted result appears on the right. You can copy the generated HTML when you need to place the result in a web page or content system.
The preview supports headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, links, images, quotes, ordered and unordered lists, task lists, horizontal rules and simple tables. It is intended for quick writing and checking, not as a complete replacement for every Markdown dialect.
Raw HTML from the editor is escaped instead of executed. Unsafe link and image protocols such as javascript: are rejected. Your text stays in this tab. A public image URL in the Markdown is requested directly by your browser so it can appear in the preview.
The formatting toolbar changes the Markdown source instead of hiding it. Select text and press Bold, Italic, Link, a heading or a list button; with no selection, the button inserts a small template. Ctrl or Cmd+B, I and K work as keyboard shortcuts.
Common Markdown marks
The preview updates while you type. Blank lines separate paragraphs and blocks.
| Write | Result |
|---|---|
| # | Add one to six # marks for headings. |
| **text** | Use two marks for bold and one for italic. |
| - item / 1. item | Create unordered or numbered lists; [x] makes a checked task. |
| ``` | Put three backticks around a block of code. |
How to preview Markdown

- Copy the HTML: Copy the safe generated HTML and paste it into a system that accepts HTML.
Frequently asked questions
Is my Markdown uploaded or stored?
No. Conversion happens in your browser and QwHub does not save the text. A remote image is loaded directly from the URL written in the Markdown.
Can Markdown contain raw HTML here?
It is displayed as text, not executed. This keeps pasted script, iframe and event-handler code from running in the preview.
Is this exactly the same as GitHub Markdown?
Not completely. Markdown has several dialects. This preview covers common writing features and simple tables and tasks, but GitHub or another publishing system may handle edge cases differently.
Why does a relative link open on QwHub?
A relative URL has meaning only in relation to a page. In this preview it is relative to QwHub; after you publish the HTML, it becomes relative to the page where you place it.
