Frequently asked questions
- Which Markdown does it understand?
- GitHub-flavoured Markdown, parsed by the same library that powers our Markdown-to-HTML page — so headings, emphasis, lists, nested lists, tables, block quotes, horizontal rules and fenced code blocks all work the way they do on GitHub.
- What happens to links?
- The text is kept and the address is printed beside it in grey. A PDF that says “click here” with nowhere to click is worse than one that tells you where it pointed, and a printed page cannot be clicked at all.
- Do images come through?
- No. An image reference in Markdown points at a file this page does not have — it only ever sees the text you gave it, and fetching the images would mean sending your document somewhere. The alt text is kept so nothing disappears silently.
- Does it handle Japanese or Korean?
- Yes. The right font is embedded automatically when the text needs it, and lines wrap the way each language breaks: Japanese at any character, since it has no spaces, and Korean at the spaces between words, so no word is split across two lines.
- Can I paste instead of uploading a file?
- Save it as a .txt or .md first — the page takes a file so that a long document does not have to be pasted into a box. Any plain text file works.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. Everything happens in your browser — the files never leave your computer.
