Markdown Editor

What is Markdown Editor?

A Markdown editor with a formatting toolbar makes Markdown writing accessible to users who may not have memorized all Markdown syntax. The toolbar provides one-click buttons for bold, italic, inline code, headings (H1, H2), links, lists, and blockquotes. Clicking a button wraps the selected text in the appropriate Markdown syntax or inserts a template at the cursor position. The editor also displays a live word count and character count, useful for content that has length requirements. This tool bridges the gap between WYSIWYG editors and raw Markdown, giving you the control of plain text with the convenience of formatting shortcuts.

How to Use Markdown Editor

1. Type in the editor area.
2. Select text and click a toolbar button to format.
3. Use B for bold, I for italic, etc.
4. See word count below the editor.
