Everything you need to write, understand, and troubleshoot Markdown, in one place. The core of these docs is a complete Markdown syntax reference, with a page for every element, worked examples, HTML output, and notes on how each flavor and tool behaves. It is built for people who work with AI-generated Markdown and need to move it accurately between apps.

Markdown reference
The Markdown reference is the heart of Markdific's documentation. Every element has its own page with the same structure: a quick definition, minimal syntax up front, exhaustive examples showing raw Markdown, the rendered result, and the HTML output, then flavor differences, common mistakes, and best practices.
- Markdown documentation home: the full index of every element, grouped by category.
- Markdown cheat sheet: all syntax on one dense reference page.
- Markdown flavors compared: how CommonMark, GitHub Flavored Markdown, MultiMarkdown, Markdown Extra, and Pandoc differ.
Popular pages
- Headings: section titles from H1 to H6.
- Emphasis: bold, italic, and bold italic.
- Lists: ordered, unordered, and nested lists.
- Links: inline, reference-style, and titled links.
- Tables: pipe tables with column alignment.
- Fenced code blocks: code fences with language hints.
- LaTeX math: inline and block equations.
- Mermaid diagrams: diagrams inside code fences.
Tools
- Markdown table generator: build a table visually and copy clean Markdown, without hand-aligning pipes.
More documentation
The Markdown reference is the first and largest section of these docs. More guides covering the Markdific app itself, such as getting started, editor features, and troubleshooting, will be added here over time. Until then, the fastest way to learn the app is to open the editor and try it.
You can write and preview Markdown live in the Markdific online editor.
FAQ
What does the Markdific documentation cover? It covers Markdown syntax in depth, with a dedicated page for every element, worked examples, HTML output, and flavor differences. Guides for the Markdific app will be added over time.
Where should I start? Start with the Markdown documentation home for the full index, or the cheat sheet if you just want a quick reference.
Is this reference specific to Markdific, or to Markdown in general? Both. The syntax pages document standard Markdown and how it behaves across the major flavors, and each page also notes how Markdific renders that element.
Why does the same Markdown look different in different apps? Because Markdown has several flavors and each tool supports a different subset. The Markdown flavors page explains the differences, and every element page flags where behavior varies.
Do I need an account to read the documentation? No. The documentation is free to read. Markdific offers a permanent free viewer tier, and premium features are available with a one-time license and a 14-day trial.
