Reddit Post Formatter & Markdown Preview
Write Reddit posts and comments in markdown, then preview the formatting before you publish. Draft headings, lists, quotes, links, code blocks, tables, strikethrough, superscript, and spoiler tags without guessing how the final post will look.
Use the preview for both posts and comments, then copy your draft into Reddit's Markdown Mode. Reddit's rich-text editor uses different controls, so switch modes before pasting raw markdown.
