MacDown now updates the document content when file is edited withĪn external application.Fixed strange behaviours when toggling block syntaxes in a documentĬaused by unintended integer overflow and underflow.Fixed a crash in the command line utility if filenames contain.To automate interaction with MacDown programmatically. You can now use AppleScript and JavaScript (JXA) MacDown can now accept plug-inīundles to add functionalities at runtime. This update adds new functionalities to MacDown, and provides fixes toīugs and usability issues, etc. The build process is also improved by this so you can clone and build from source more easily. Bumped various dependencies to fix upstream bugs.See #746 and #747 for discussions about a more long-term solution to this. This is done by disabling WebCache’s caching via private API. Image caches are now less an issue in the preview.A new document is created only when necessary. Launching files from CLI does not always open a new document now.This fixes a problem with the CLI utility if you provide a non-standard extension. Suggest filename only when doc have no fileURL is set.This also makes the “hide extension” checkbox work. Do not select ext in save dialog if possible.This is super handy! Kudos to Piping to the CLI utility now creates a new document with the piped content. The preference window layout is broken if the font selector gets too large.New file not created when being opened.Unhideable panes on new window after a panel is hidden, the window closes, and a new window is opened.Some usability issues with the CLI utility.Visit our project page if you would like to help translating MacDown to your language: MacDown - The open source Markdown editor for macOS.MacDown now has i18n! Thanks to all people giving feedback on this issue, and all our contributors on Transifex.Haroopad - The Markdown Enabled Next Document Processor.A suggestion - This example might help you to write MD reports easily or give you ideas on how to do it better.Open the md file with your markdown editor and try to understand the content and play with it. Either click on the link or mouse-click right and choose download file. Also, try to export your md file to html or pdf. Have a look at the manuals, reference guide, or cheat sheet if you are already advanced for help. Try to generate titles different sizes, add plain text, code an pictures. The best way to get a feel for the syntax is to study examples (see below). I recommend your install Haroopad or MacDown (Mac user only) but any other markdown editor will do. To increase reproducibility we are going to use a markdown editor. Most of the primary data analysis is done in the Linux environment. It is perfect to write (bioinformatic) reports that contain text, figures and code. Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text-formatting syntax to convert, for example, text to HTML.
