Frequently Asked Questions

Are images included?

Local image references in the Markdown are inlined if they're in the same upload; remote URLs are fetched at render time.

Can I customize the styling?

Not yet — the default style is GitHub-inspired (clean serif body, monospace code). Custom CSS is on the roadmap.

Does it handle code-block syntax highlighting?

Yes — fenced code blocks with language hints get tokenized and colored (Python, JS, SQL, Bash, etc.).
