Markdown preview online
Headings, tables, code blocks and a clickable outline — rendered by the same engine as a published Pagepost link, so this is the real thing.
This is exactly how it publishes
The preview above runs the same renderer Pagepost uses for published pages — not a lookalike. Publish the file and you get this page at a real URL, with a table of contents, working anchor links, and no raw # symbols for whoever opens it.
Questions
Is this the same rendering my published page gets?+
Yes, literally. The preview calls the same renderer Pagepost uses for published Markdown pages, including the table of contents and heading anchors, so what you see here is what a recipient sees.
Is my Markdown stored?+
No. The text is sent to our server to be rendered and is discarded immediately — nothing is written to a database or to storage. It is only saved if you choose to publish it.
Which Markdown flavour is supported?+
GitHub-flavoured Markdown: headings, lists, tables, fenced code blocks, blockquotes, task lists and links. The output is sanitised against a strict allowlist, so raw HTML and scripts inside Markdown are stripped.
Why does my Markdown show # symbols when I paste it into Slack?+
Slack, email and many chat tools do not render Markdown files — they show the raw text, so headings appear as # characters and tables collapse into pipes. Publishing the file gives you a URL that renders properly for anyone who opens it.
Can I preview a .md file instead of pasting?+
Open the file, copy its contents and paste them in. To skip that step entirely, publish the .md file directly and Pagepost renders it at a shareable URL.
Working with HTML instead? Try the HTML viewer. Wrote the report with an AI assistant? Publish straight from it.
