# View Markdown

> Learn how to view the Markdown underlying a documentation page, to help with tool integration and troubleshooting.

Adding `.md` or `.mdx` to the end of a documentation page's URL shows its source Markdown, excluding frontmatter. This works for both normal and API reference pages.

<Tip>
  Displaying the page's Markdown helps with troubleshooting layout problems and makes it easier to process page content with external tools or AI agents.

For example, `https://buildwithfern.com/learn/docs/developer-tools/view-markdown.md` displays the Markdown source for this page.
