    Examples

    Basic Formatting

    # Title
    
    Some **bold** and *italic* text with a [link](https://example.com).
    Rendered heading, bold/italic text, and clickable link in the preview pane.

    💡 Standard Markdown syntax is converted to styled HTML in real-time as you type.

    Code Block

    ```javascript
    console.log("Hello World")
    ```
    Syntax-highlighted code block with monospace font and background.

    💡 Fenced code blocks with optional language hints are rendered with proper formatting.

    Table

    | Name | Role |
    | --- | --- |
    | Alice | Developer |
    | Bob | Designer |
    Formatted table with headers and alternating row colors.

    💡 Pipe-delimited tables are rendered as styled HTML tables with proper alignment.

    Common Mistakes to Avoid

    ⚠️

    Forgetting blank lines between elements

    Solution: Markdown requires blank lines between paragraphs, before/after headers, and before lists. Without them, elements may merge together.

    ⚠️

    Incorrect link syntax

    Solution: Links use [text](url) format — square brackets for display text, parentheses for the URL. Reversed brackets are a common mistake.

    ⚠️

    Indentation issues in nested lists

    Solution: Use consistent indentation (2 or 4 spaces) for nested list items. Mixing tabs and spaces can cause unexpected rendering.
