Write and preview Markdown

Use live HTML, math, diagrams, project links, and source navigation.

Create or open a .md file to get a live HTML preview. On desktop, Split view can show source and preview side by side; narrower screens show one pane at a time. The preview updates as you type and supports headings, tables, fenced code, math, Mermaid diagrams, project-relative links, and project images.

Write efficiently#

Use shortcuts for bold, italic, strikethrough, and inline code. Enter continues a list; press it on an empty item to leave the list. Click rendered text in the preview to jump to its Markdown source.

Choose the right output#

Markdown works well for notes, outlines, and prose drafts. CorTeX's standard Markdown preview is HTML; use LaTeX for a publication PDF or a Markdown slide document for presentations. Compare Markdown and LaTeX or continue with Markdown slides.
