What is Markdown Viewer?

A Markdown Viewer is an application used to preview and edit Markdown documents. Markdown is a lightweight markup language used for creating formatted text, often used by developers and writers.

A Markdown Viewer displays Markdown text in a visually formatted way, similar to how it would appear if converted to HTML. This allows writers to preview their Markdown documents as they edit them, without having to repeatedly convert the files to HTML.

Common features of a Markdown Viewer include:

  • Live preview pane showing formatted Markdown text
  • Split screen/side-by-side editing and preview modes
  • Syntax highlighting for Markdown markup
  • Keyboard shortcuts for editing
  • Exporting to HTML and PDF formats
  • Customizable themes and fonts
  • Supports GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions
  • Available as standalone applications for Windows, Mac and Linux as well as browser-based online tools

Some popular Markdown Viewer apps include Typora, Markdown Monster, MacDown and StackEdit. They provide a convenient way for writers and developers to write and preview Markdown files for documentation, README files, blog posts and more.
