"I've written my Markdown, but how do I share it with people who don't use Markdown? How do I export it as a nice HTML page? Will my content be lost if I leave the page? I need a convenient export workflow."
Suried Markdown Editor offers multiple export options for different scenarios: copy raw Markdown to other editors, copy as HTML code for web embedding, download .md source files, download fully-styled HTML files, and auto-save to prevent content loss.
01 Copy as Markdown Source
The most direct sharing method — click the "Copy Markdown" button to copy the raw Markdown text from the editor to your clipboard. Then paste it into any Markdown-supporting platform: GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Yuque, Feishu Docs, etc.
This method preserves complete Markdown syntax, allowing recipients to continue editing in their own editor. Ideal for sharing document drafts during team collaboration.
Pro tip: Before pasting to different platforms, check which Markdown dialect they support (e.g., GitHub Flavored Markdown). Different platforms may have varying support for extended syntax like tables and task lists.
02 Copy as HTML Code
Click the "Copy HTML" button and the editor converts your Markdown to HTML code and copies it to your clipboard. This HTML can be pasted directly into web pages, blog admin panels, email templates, or any HTML-supporting editor.
The output HTML is semantic — headings use <h1>-<h6>, paragraphs use <p>, code blocks use <pre><code>, lists use <ul>/<ol>. This ensures good SEO and accessibility.
Note: The copied HTML is pure structural code without styling. For a complete styled HTML page, use the "Download HTML" feature described below.
03 Download .md File
Click the "Download .md" button and the browser saves the current editor content as a .md file for local download. The filename is automatically derived from the first heading.
The downloaded .md file can be opened in any text editor (VS Code, Typora, Obsidian, even Notepad) or uploaded to GitHub, GitLab, and other repositories as project documentation.
This is the best option for archiving and version management — .md files are plain text, can be tracked with Git for every change, and are ideal for long-term maintenance of technical documentation.
04 Download Styled HTML File
Click the "Download HTML" button and the editor generates a complete HTML file with inline CSS styling. The downloaded HTML file displays with identical formatting to the preview when opened in any browser.
This feature is especially useful for sharing documents with non-Markdown users — they just double-click the HTML file to see beautifully formatted content, no software installation needed.
The exported HTML is self-contained — all styles are inlined, with no external CSS or CDN dependencies. You can send it directly as an email attachment or upload to any static file hosting service.
The exported HTML supports code syntax highlighting and responsive layout — readable on both mobile and desktop.
05 Auto-Save Feature
Suried Markdown Editor has built-in auto-save — your edits are automatically saved to the browser's localStorage. Even if you accidentally close the browser or tab, your content will still be there when you return.
Auto-save uses a debounce strategy — saving approximately 1 second after you stop typing, without affecting typing fluidity. A "Saved" status indicator appears at the bottom of the editor.
Note: Browser localStorage has capacity limits (typically 5-10 MB), and clearing browser data also clears saved content. For important documents, periodically use "Download .md" to save to your local file system as a backup.
FAQ
Does the exported HTML include my custom styling?
The exported HTML includes the editor preview's default styles, ensuring correct rendering in any browser. If you need custom styling, you can manually edit the <style> tag in the downloaded HTML file.
Can I export Markdown as PDF?
Suried Editor doesn't directly export PDF yet. But you can download the styled HTML file, open it in a browser, and use the browser's "Print > Save as PDF" feature. This produces PDF output consistent with the preview.
Where is auto-saved content stored? Can I clear it manually?
Auto-saved content is stored in your browser's localStorage, saved only on your local device, and not shared between browsers. You can view and clear it via browser developer tools (F12 > Application > Local Storage).
Can I paste the copied HTML directly into WeChat Official Accounts?
WeChat Official Account's rich text editor has limited HTML support. We recommend downloading the styled HTML file, opening it in a browser, selecting all and copying (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C), then pasting into the WeChat editor — this preserves most formatting.
Is exported file content synced with the editor in real-time?
No — each export is a snapshot of the current state. If you continue editing, previously exported files won't auto-update. Click the export button again when you need the latest version.
