LiveMarkDownEditor Wiki

LiveMarkDownEditor is a live Markdown editor for Windows. You edit in a WYSIWYG surface — formatting shows as formatting, never as raw # and * — while the file on disk stays plain Markdown and updates live when it changes underneath you.

This wiki is the user guide: how to use each part of the app. For the feature list with pictures, see the README.

User guide

Start here:

• Getting Started — the window, your first document, saving
• Writing and Formatting — headings, emphasis, lists, links, code
• Tables — inserting one, adding and removing rows and columns
• Diagrams — Mermaid diagrams and the Diagram Builder
• Files, Folders and Tabs — opening, pinning, the folder workspace
• Finding and Navigating — find and replace, the outline, folding
• Panels and Layout — docking, auto-hide, and the source panel
• Live Updates and Conflicts — what happens when the file changes
• Pages, Printing and Export — page setup, PDF, HTML, print
• Spell Check — suggestions and your own dictionary
• Keyboard Shortcuts — the whole list
