Examples

1. Technical Documentation Preview

Software Developer
Background
A developer is writing a README file for a new open-source library and needs to ensure the code snippets and tables render correctly.
Problem
Manual checking of raw Markdown is error-prone and doesn't show how the final documentation will look to users.
How to Use
Paste the README content into the Markdown input and enable 'Enable Tables' and 'Enable Code Highlighting'.
Example Config
theme: prism-dark, enableTables: true, enableCodeHighlighting: true
Outcome
A perfectly rendered preview with dark-themed code blocks and properly aligned tables.

2. Project Task List Formatting

Project Manager
Background
A project manager is organizing a list of deliverables using Markdown task lists and wants to ensure the formatting is consistent.
Problem
Ensuring that task lists and strikethrough text appear correctly before sharing the plan with the team.
How to Use
Input the task list content and toggle 'Enable Task Lists' and 'Enable Strikethrough' to verify the visual output.
Example Config
theme: prism, enableTaskLists: true, enableStrikethrough: true
Outcome
A clean, readable preview of the project plan with interactive-looking checkboxes and clear strikethrough for completed items.
