Markdown previewer with sanitized HTML

README files, GitHub issues and this blog’s drafts are Markdown. A live preview catches broken lists and unclosed code fences before you commit.

The preview is sanitized with DOMPurify so pasted Markdown cannot run script tags. Copy the HTML if you need a static fragment for a CMS that accepts HTML.

GitHub flavoured tables and some extensions may differ. When in doubt, check the rendered README on GitHub.
