What is the Markdown Formatter?

Markdown is easy to write but easy to make messy. This tool lines up table columns, uses the same list markers, and fixes extra blank lines, so your notes and README files look neat.

It does not change the meaning of your text. It only changes spacing and markers.

How to use it

  1. Paste your Markdown in the left box.
  2. The clean version shows on the right.
  3. Copy it or save it as a file.
