Can all whitespace be removed from Markdown?

Frequently Asked Questions
Are code blocks preserved?
Yes. Fenced and indented code blocks should be preserved without compacting their internal code.
Will Markdown minification change the rendered output?
It is designed not to, although Markdown implementations can interpret edge cases differently. The result should be reviewed when using complex or nonstandard syntax.
Is my Markdown uploaded?
No. Markdown processing runs locally in your browser.
