About Markdown Editor and Reader
Write Markdown as easily as plain text. Markdown Editor opens in an instant – no account, no setup. For notes, READMEs, documentation, blog posts, to-do lists and anything that should look good. WRITE WITH SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING Headings, bold, italic, code, links, lists and quotes are highlighted as you type. The Markdown characters step back so your words stay in focus – and the editor stays smooth even with long documents. FORMAT WITHOUT SEARCHING • A formatting bar above the keyboard: heading, bold, italic, lists, checklists, links, code, quotes, tables and images in one tap • Lists continue by themselves when you press Return • Keyboard shortcuts ⌘B, ⌘I and ⌘K on iPad PREVIEW AND READ One tap on the eye shows your document beautifully formatted – with tables, checklists, nested lists, code blocks and images.
