mdreader 0.3.0

mdreader 0.3.0

A fast, beautiful markdown reader for Windows — that happens to edit.
First public release. Free and open source (MIT). No telemetry. Ever.

Install

• Installer (recommended): mdreader-setup-0.3.0.exe — per-user, no admin
  required. Silent install for Intune/SCCM: /VERYSILENT /NORESTART.
• Portable: mdreader-0.3.0-portable-win-x64.zip — extract and run.
• CLI converter: mdreader-convert-0.3.0-win-x64.exe — standalone
  markdown → HTML for scripting.

Requires the WebView2 Evergreen Runtime (preinstalled on Windows 11; the
installer fetches it automatically if missing).

Highlights

• Rendered Reader view by default; Ctrl+E toggles a Monaco Source
  editor with scroll position preserved; Ctrl+Shift+E for split view.
• CommonMark + GFM: tables, task lists, footnotes, definition lists, YAML
  front matter as a collapsed metadata card, emoji, custom containers.
• highlight.js code coloring, Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math — all
  bundled, fully offline.
• Byte-faithful saves (encoding, BOM, and line endings round-trip exactly).
• Live reload, single instance with tabs, drag & drop, recent files, find in
  both modes, light/dark themes following Windows, custom CSS themes.
• Export to self-contained HTML and PDF, print, copy-as-rich-text, and
  headless --export-html / --export-pdf for CI.
• Security-first: allowlist HTML sanitization, strict CSP, remote images
  blocked by default, no elevation, and file associations that never touch
  UserChoice.
