Markdown Tools

Free online Markdown tools: an editor with on-demand preview, a table generator, and a table of contents generator. No signup.

Markdown Tools helps finish a Markdown document rather than write the prose: preview it, add a table, or add a table of contents. The Editor renders an on-demand GitHub-Flavored preview so you can confirm the formatting renders as expected before publishing elsewhere. The Table Generator turns a filled grid into valid table syntax with the pipe characters escaped for you. The TOC Generator reads the headings and outputs an indented list of anchor links. All three run in the browser and keep what you type local.

Which tool should I use?

  • Use the Editor to check how Markdown will render and to copy the resulting sanitized HTML; it is a formatting check, not a styled-document exporter.
  • Use the Table Generator instead of hand-typing pipes once a table has more than a few cells; note there is no column-alignment option.
  • Use the TOC Generator on a document that already uses ATX headings (# to ######); Setext underline headings are not detected.

Limitations and things to know

  • The Editor preview is sanitized: raw HTML in the source (scripts, event handlers, iframes) is removed, so it is not a faithful render of embedded HTML, and no page styling is applied.
  • Generated table rows use a fixed --- separator; alignment markers (:--, --:) are not produced, and a line break inside a cell becomes a space.
  • TOC anchors are lowercased with accented and non-Latin characters stripped ("Résumé" becomes #rsum); duplicates get -1, -2 suffixes. The slug style matches GitHub-like renderers and may differ elsewhere.
  • Processing limits: 1 MB of Markdown, and for the table up to 1,000 rows and 20,000 cells.
