The basil made it through the cold week. I want to remember what helped, not just that it worked.

For next spring
Move the small pot closer to the kitchen window before the nights cool down.

Before I forget

☑ Bring the basil inside
☐ Start a new cutting
☐ Share the extra leaves

This stays plain text whether you view the source or write inline.

Your text stays in this browser tab. This example uses Cindermark, the open-source parser behind Ember. Markdown support can differ among tools.

Write in the source pane and watch the result beside it, or choose Write inline to edit inside a styled note. The split view can keep both panes in step as you scroll. Open a local .md or .markdown file, then download an edited copy or print the preview to PDF. The tool runs entirely in your browser: your text is not stored remotely.

What this preview is showing

The tool uses Cindermark, the open-source parser behind Ember’s native editor. It recognizes a CommonMark-oriented core and some editor-focused extensions. Cindermark does not claim complete CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown conformance. A different Markdown tool may render a table, task list, callout, or wiki link differently.

The Markdown source is authoritative in both views. Inline styling is a browser interpretation of Ember's native editor; the underlying text is what you can take with you. Raw HTML and math are shown as escaped source rather than executed or typeset here.

Try a heading, a list, a link, and a task. Then download the file and open it in a text editor. That is the simplest way to see the relationship between Markdown syntax and a Markdown file.

The import limit is 1 MB to keep the browser tool responsive. Import replaces the current source after confirmation if you have changed it. The original file remains on your device; downloading writes a new copy.

For a general reference, read Markdown syntax or keep the cheat sheet nearby. The CommonMark specification is the primary reference for the core format.
