Write your email in Markdown, then make it pretty.

Description from store

Markdown Here lets you write email in Markdown and render it (make it pretty!) before sending.

This is great for anyone who doesn't like fiddling around with formatting buttons while writing an email. It's especially good for programmers who write email with code in them -- it even supports syntax highlighting. And for the mathematicians among us: Markdown Here will render TeX formulae as well.

Totally simple to use:
1. Write your email in your email client's rich editor using Github-flavoured Markdown.
2. Right-click in the compose area and then click "Markdown Toggle".
3. Your email is now pretty! (That is, it's been rendered to HTML.)
4. If you like the way it looks, just send it. If you want to change or add something, click "Markdown Toggle" again to get back to your original Markdown.
5. Repeat as necessary.

Markdown Here is primarily targeted to work with Gmail and Thunderbird, but it also works pretty well with Yahoo and Hotmail. Additionally, it works great with Google Groups and Sites, Evernote's web interface, Blogger, Wordpress, and more!

Syntax highlighting note: Use fenced code blocks and specify the language name. See the project page for an example.

Privacy: Markdown Here accesses and modifies web content when you activate it. It can, in theory, access other web content, but does not. It also makes no Internet requests whatsoever. Your data is modified when and where you choose, and does not leave your browser.

Available as a Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Thunderbird extension.

This is an open source project. Visit Markdown Here's Github page for full instructions, more information, bug reports, or to contribute.

Works great. In gmail, in Substack, even in the WordPress editor. I donated. Well worth it. Thank you so much for this. I write everything in Markdown, and this little extension means I have to fiddle with it exactly once! Thank you Adam!

Len Hoare 2025-10-04

Brilliant! Exactly what I wanted. Lets me copy markdown into Gmail to send with half decent formatting.

Very much useful!

Matt Wilkins 2024-11-20

This is great! I wanted to copy markdown into Gmail, but OMG, formatting is horrible and annoying. I installed the chrome extension, refreshed gmail, selected the text and clicked Markdown Here. Magic!

Robert J. Sawyer 2024-10-20

Indespensible for me. Works fabulously. Thank you for the latest update!

Installed two years ago, works on gmail, does the job

Does it still work with LaTeX for including mathematical formulas in email? I tried and failed. A review for Firefox version says no. I need to write math in email. Of course currently I can use "TeX for Gmail" to do it. But it "Markdown Here" dose still work.

it did the thing

Rodrigo Farinha 2024-05-07

Amazing. And yes, it does work on Gmail. After you install the extension, refresh the Gmail page before using the extension.

Alain Kelder 2024-02-20

Not sure why some are claiming it doesn't work in gmail -- it works great, I've been using it every day for some years now. If it's not working, refresh the gmail compose window/tab. (This only needs to be done if you just installed the extension for the first time in another browser window/tab.)

False advertising. Doesn't work in gmail. Avoid.

Does not work in Gmail. The only reason I wanted this extension.

Where has this been all my life! Works great in Outlook 365. For those reporting it taking up CPU processing power... I think that's changed. However chrome also allows the following workaround. Change "Site access" to "On click" in Chrome's Manage Exentions -> Markdown Here -> Details. I then use right click -> Markdown Toggle over selected text in the text box to convert to markdown. Takes 41mb of RAM and 0.1 CPU.

used to work, but not anymore. From the changelog, last change was 2015, so it seem gmail broke support since that date and the dev abandoned the extension

awesome

I liked it a lot. However, toggling moves the pointer to the beginning of the message, and therefore, it becomes annoying to switch back and forth between edition and preview.

Sadly this extension stopped working in gmail quite some time ago, and has not recovered ever for me. Reporting a bug on the github site gives me assurances that I should just reinstall and all will work again, but that is simply not the case. What to do?
