Why Use a Markdown Previewer?

Writing Markdown is easy, but seeing the result helps! Tooly explains why a live previewer is great:

  • Instant Feedback: See exactly how your formatting (like headers, lists, bold text) will look when rendered.
  • Catch Errors: Quickly spot syntax mistakes or unintended formatting.
  • Learn Markdown: Experiment with syntax and see the output immediately, making learning faster.
  • Draft Content: Write blog posts, README files, or documentation and ensure the formatting is correct before publishing.

Tooly provides a simple split view for efficient writing and previewing!

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. It's designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool.

It uses simple characters like `#` for headers, `*` or `_` for emphasis (italics/bold), `-` or `*` for lists, `[text](url)` for links, and `![alt text](image url)` for images. Its simplicity makes it popular for writing web content, documentation, notes, and more.
