Pasting a <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> with a &ldquo;preview&rdquo; button next to it stops being acceptable the day your users start pasting tables, dragging in images, and complaining that the syntax highlighting is ugly. The three open-source editor components below — <strong>Milkdown (11,900+ stars), Vditor (11,300+ stars), and ByteMD (1,400+ stars, with its v2 successor HashMD at 4,300+)</strong> — are the most battle-tested ways to embed a real Markdown editing experience without building one from scratch. This comparison covers what each one actually feels like to integrate, where their licenses and maintenance situations genuinely differ in 2026, and which one you should ship.</p>
