Minor update to Pretty Markdown, a native macOS Markdown viewer.

What's new

  • Images now render. Previously the viewer only handled [text](url) links and dropped image syntax as literal text. This release adds full image support:
    • Bare images — ![alt](src) — with alt text.
    • Images as links[![alt](src)](url) — the image stays clickable.
    • Captions — a Markdown title becomes a <figure> caption, e.g. ![alt](src "My caption").
    • Size & float hints in the alt text — #small / #medium / #large to constrain width, and #left / #right to float the image so text wraps around it (floated images default to small). The hints are stripped from the visible alt text.
    • Styling is wired to the viewer's own light/dark theme, with a hover affordance on linked images; floats collapse to full width on narrow windows.
