Markdown Cheat Sheet — Interactive Reference With Live Preview

A Markdown syntax reference where every example renders live — click a syntax pattern to see exactly how it displays, rather than trying to mentally parse raw ## heading and | table | syntax from a static text list.

How to use MD Cheat Sheet

1. Browse syntax categories — headings, lists, tables, links.
2. Click an example to see it rendered live.
3. Copy the syntax pattern you need.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cover GitHub-flavored Markdown extensions?

Yes — tables, task lists, strikethrough and fenced code blocks (GFM extensions beyond base Markdown) are included alongside standard syntax.

Why does seeing the live render help more than a syntax list?

Markdown table and nested-list syntax in particular is easy to get subtly wrong — seeing the actual rendered result next to the source confirms it immediately rather than after you paste it somewhere.

Is this useful for writing a README specifically?

Yes — the covered syntax is exactly what GitHub READMEs and most documentation platforms support.
