Historical release mirror from BinaryOutlook/binary-markdown-fork.

Originally published 2026-09-06T08:09:13Z. This copy preserves the original uploaded files byte-for-byte; it does not represent a new build or a new validation run. The original record remains authoritative for its publication date. GitHub assigns this copied release a new ID and publication timestamp.

Repository transition

First public test release of Binary Markdown Editor, independently maintained by BinaryOutlook. This MIT-licensed fork builds on Any Markdown by raggbal and contributors, based on upstream commit 82487429. Most editor functionality is inherited; acknowledgments preserve that provenance.

Install

  1. Download binary-markdown-0.1.0.vsix under Assets below.
  2. In VS Code, open Extensions → … → Install from VSIX… and select the file.
  3. Open a Markdown document and choose Reopen Editor With… → Binary Markdown.

No terminal commands are needed to install it. The accompanying .sha256 file provides the package's SHA-256 checksum.

The extension ID is BinaryOutlook.binary-markdown. Installation leaves your default Markdown editor unchanged. Commands, settings, and editor registration use their own Binary Markdown names. Existing preferences and remembered outline state are not automatically imported; see the migration guide, including guidance for removing the obsolete BinaryOutlook.any-markdown test build.

Changes in this fork

  • Preserve newlines, indentation, and meaningful blank lines when copying code blocks, incorporating the work proposed upstream in PR #8.
  • Remember outline visibility per file or globally, with a configurable initial state, incorporating PR #9. Opening the outline does not mark the document as edited.
  • Align the extension and desktop sources with Binary Markdown branding and identifiers.
  • Add current installation, settings, migration, and contribution documentation, while preserving the upstream presentation and release history in an archive.

Validation and feedback

  • Extension and Electron sources compile successfully.
  • 61 focused browser tests and 10 unit/registration checks passed.
  • A native VS Code coexistence smoke test passed alongside Any Markdown 0.195.392, covering activation, commands, independent settings, editor opening, and unchanged default associations.
  • Lint completed with 10 existing warnings and no errors.

Copy-and-paste and outline behaviours were fully tested on VS Code 1.136.0 / macOS before the naming migration. The renamed build needs further manual testing. The full browser suite, desktop installers, and other editor environments have not been validated for this release.

Use the manual test document and report issues in this fork. Include a small reproduction and editor/OS versions; omit personal paths, usernames, and private documents. Contributions are welcome under MIT.

This is a GitHub prerelease for testing. VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX publication are pending. Other editors may install the same VSIX if their extension APIs are compatible.
