Markdown made beautiful

Prettily print, preview, and process your markdown documents.

Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to a variety of formats. Markdown is widely used by web writers.

A few little features:

  • Your writing never leaves your computer. Markdown tools never takes your writing and stores it in a database somewhere. Your writing is stored right on your computer, so you don’t need to worry about it being secure.
  • Import markdown from GitHub Gists. Many people use GitHub Gists to store markdown. Just input a gist ID and markdown.tools will fetch its contents so you can typeset it. (tip: you can also get markdown from a gist using the url. For example, you could load this about text from a gist by going to http://markdown.curiositry.com/gist/fb83089148ea52c512ad).
  • Elegant typographic presets. Markdown.tools has built in typographic presets for different tones of document, and there will be more added soon. You don’t need to spend time fussing over fonts and spacing and colour schemes. You document is beautiful automagically.
  • Easily print and export .pdfs. Just press CTRL+P and you can print your document. Select “save as pdf” if you’d like to stash it for safe keeping or send it to a friend.
