Preview
You are close to the character or line limit—split the file soon.
Supported: #–###### headings, paragraphs, -/* and numbered lists, > blockquotes, ``` fenced code, --- rules, inline **bold**, *italic*, `code`, and [text](https://…) links.
Preview updated. CloudyBot can keep working from this draft in chat: expand sections, pull facts from linked docs, and schedule follow-ups — with a real cloud browser when pages need to be opened.

How the preview works
Your text is parsed line-by-line in JavaScript: fenced code blocks are extracted first (content is HTML-escaped), then headings, horizontal rules, lists, and blockquotes. Remaining lines form paragraphs. Inline passes turn **…**, *…*, backticks, and Markdown links into safe HTML; link targets are restricted to http:, https:, mailto:, # anchors, and same-site paths starting with /.
Updates are debounced (120ms) so large notes stay responsive. There are no fetch calls for rendering — the converter is bundled inline on this page.
Common use cases
- README sanity check — verify headings, lists, and code fences before pushing to GitHub.
- Support macros — paste canned Markdown replies and confirm formatting before sending.
- Changelog drafts — preview bullet lists and nested structure for release notes.
- Internal wikis — quick visual pass on prose-heavy pages without running a static site generator.
- Email-to-HTML rough pass — see how bold and links render (then paste into your ESP).
- Teaching Markdown — pair source and rendered output for workshops.
How to (quick steps)
- Paste or type Markdown in the left pane.
- Wait briefly—the preview debounces updates every 120 milliseconds.
- Review the rendered HTML on the right for headings, lists, code blocks, and links.
- If you see a red error about length limits, trim characters or lines before continuing.
- Clear or edit the source and repeat until the draft matches what you want to publish.

FAQ
Is my Markdown sent to your servers?
No. Conversion runs in JavaScript in your tab. No fetch calls are made for preview.
Is this full CommonMark?
No. It is a small subset for quick README and note previews: headings, paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, fenced code blocks, horizontal rules, and common inline syntax.
Is this GitHub-Flavored Markdown?
Only partially. Tables, task lists, and autolink extensions are not implemented. The goal is a fast, trustworthy preview for notes and README-style text.
Does the preview block dangerous links?
Link targets are restricted to http, https, mailto, hash anchors, and same-site paths starting with slash. javascript:, data:, vbscript:, and protocol-relative URLs are blocked; link text and inline code are HTML-escaped.
Is there a limit on how much Markdown I can paste?
Yes. Each preview is limited to 400000 characters and 12000 lines. Split very large documents or trim blank lines if you hit either limit.
