Question 1

What does the markdown formatter fix?

Accepted Answer

The formatter normalizes heading levels, fixes inconsistent list indentation, removes trailing whitespace, ensures blank lines between blocks, and standardizes emphasis markers. It produces clean, consistent markdown that follows common style conventions.

Question 2

Can I see what the formatter changed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After formatting, a diff view highlights every change made to your document. Added lines appear in green and removed lines appear in red, so you can review each modification before copying the result.

Question 3

What is format on paste?

Accepted Answer

Format on paste automatically cleans up markdown as soon as you paste it into the editor. This saves a step when you are working with markdown copied from other sources that may have inconsistent formatting.

Question 4

Is my data private when using the formatter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All formatting is performed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your markdown content is never sent to a server, so your documents remain completely private.
