</blockquote>Good to know
- The preview is sanitized and sandboxed, so scripts do not run and remote images are not loaded.
- Your text is kept only while the page is open. Reloading clears it, so copy or download what you need.
- Rendering follows GitHub Flavored Markdown through the marked library, which may differ slightly from other platforms.
