Frequently Asked Questions

What does the HTML Table Generator produce?

It generates valid, clean HTML table markup — including the <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <tr>, <th> and <td> elements with proper nesting. The output is production-ready HTML that can be pasted into any CMS, email builder, web page or HTML editor. Inline styles are optionally included for border, padding, background colours and text alignment so the table renders correctly without needing an external stylesheet.

Can I insert tables using the toolbar?

Yes — clicking the Table button in the toolbar inserts a sample Markdown table template at the cursor position. Edit the column headers and fill in your data. For more complex tables with many rows and custom alignment, use the dedicated Markdown Table Generator tool on this site, which provides a visual grid editor and generates the Markdown automatically.

Does the editor support keyboard shortcuts?

Yes — standard keyboard shortcuts work: Ctrl+B (bold), Ctrl+I (italic), Ctrl+K (link), Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y (undo/redo), Tab (indent list item), Shift+Tab (unindent list item). The editor behaves like a code editor with smart indentation — pressing Enter in a list automatically continues the list with the correct prefix. Pressing Tab inside a code block inserts a literal tab character.

What is the difference between CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown?

CommonMark is the standardised Markdown specification that resolves ambiguities in the original Markdown. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extends CommonMark with: pipe tables, task list checkboxes (- [ ]), strikethrough (~~text~~), autolinks (bare URLs become links), and disallowing certain raw HTML tags for security. This editor supports GFM, so Markdown written here renders identically on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and most modern documentation platforms.

Can I write documentation in this editor?

Yes — this is an ideal tool for writing README files, API documentation, wiki pages, blog posts, tutorials and technical specifications. The live preview shows exactly how the document will look when published to GitHub, a documentation site (Docusaurus, MkDocs, GitBook), or a blogging platform (Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby). The Download .md button saves a raw Markdown file ready to commit to a repository.

Does it count words and characters?

Yes — the status bar below the editor displays a live count of words, characters, lines and estimated reading time (based on 200 words per minute). These update with every keystroke. The word count is calculated from the plain text content of your Markdown, excluding all syntax characters like *, #, [ and ], so it reflects the actual reading word count, not the raw Markdown character count.

Is my content saved when I close the browser?

The editor automatically saves your content to the browser's in-page memory while you are on the page. However, refreshing or closing the tab will clear the content — no persistent storage is used. For long-form work, use the Download .md button regularly to save your progress as a local file. There is no account system and nothing is sent to any server at any point.
