Markdown Outline

The markdown-outline icon represents a line-style format symbol, often used to signify Markdown formatting in text editors or content creation tools. This icon is commonly associated with writing, editing, or formatting text content. Its outline style makes it suitable for designs where a subtle, yet clear indication of the formatting option is required.

In software and web design, the markdown-outline icon appears in various contexts, such as text editors, content management systems, or note-taking applications. For example, in text editors like Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text, a Markdown icon often appears in the toolbar to indicate the option to format text using Markdown. Similarly, in content management systems like WordPress or Ghost, a Markdown icon may appear in the editor to indicate the option to use Markdown formatting.

From a UX perspective, the markdown-outline icon communicates a clear and direct formatting option to users. When users see this icon, they understand that they can use Markdown syntax to format their text content. This visual cue helps users navigate the interface with confidence.

Markdown Outline is one of 1,200 icons in Teenyicons, made by smhmd and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 15 × 15 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MarkdownOutlineIcon to components/icons/teenyicons-markdown-outline.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed MarkdownOutlineIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Markdown Outline icon, or any of 1,200 Teenyicons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 15 × 15 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Markdown Outline", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MarkdownOutlineIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MarkdownOutlineIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Teenyicons, smhmd and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
