# Sample Markdown files for testing parsers, free and CC0 3 Markdown test files from 920 B to 24.4 KB. Direct URLs, a SHA-256 for each and CC0, so curl and CI can fetch them with no signup and no keys. The page: . This is a Markdown test file that uses every common element, free to hotlink or download. | Path | Size | MIME | Properties | |---|---|---|---| | [`md/all-elements.md`](https://loremfile.dev/md/all-elements.md) | 920 B | `text/markdown; charset=utf-8` | utf-8, LF, 50 lines | `md/all-elements.md` has headings, emphasis, ordered and nested lists, a table, fenced code blocks with languages, a blockquote, a link, an image, a footnote and a raw HTML block. Markdown is plain text with lightweight formatting, and every renderer treats its corners a little differently. `md/readme-style.md` is a README-shaped document of exactly 4,096 bytes, the kind of file every source repository has at its root. 4,096 bytes is a common buffer and memory page size, so the file lands exactly on a boundary that exposes off-by-one mistakes in code that reads text in fixed chunks. `md/long-with-toc-and-footnotes.md` is a long document whose contents list links every section heading by anchor, with numbered footnotes at the end. Every link and footnote resolves, so a renderer or converter that drops one shows the failure. Use them to test Markdown rendering in editors and previews, static site generators, search indexers, and upload forms that accept `.md` files. They are UTF-8 with LF line endings and are served as `text/markdown`, so they also check how a client handles that MIME type when it does not recognise it.
