Why this pattern works

Markdown source and rendered headings are shown in equal-height columns, making syntax and result easy to compare.

Design notes

Surface: Markdown Live Preview — Editor
Navigation: Two-pane source and preview workspace beneath a thin menu bar.
Layout: Two-pane source and preview workspace beneath a thin menu bar.
Density: Compact supporting controls preserve space for the primary content.
Color: White, gray and blue syntax accents
Type: Small utility labels with monospaced text where code or structured data is visible.
Pattern: Markdown source and rendered headings are shown in equal-height columns, making syntax and result easy to compare.
States: Public example or template in its captured initial state; visible sample data is demonstration content.
Don't: Use the structure as a reference, with your own content and identity. This still does not establish the behavior of controls or unseen states.

## Objective
Adapt the interaction and layout patterns below to my project. Use my own content and identity. Do not reproduce logos, proprietary copy, or brand assets.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
