Added

  • Pictures that live next to your document just show up. ![](demo/shot.png)
    now means what it means in every other markdown tool: the file sitting beside
    the document. Markie could not display those at all before, so a report full
    of screenshots was a report full of empty space. A document can reach the
    folder it was opened from and anywhere inside your workspace, and nothing
    else: open a file somebody sent you and it cannot show you a picture from
    elsewhere on your disk, or carry one into a copy you send on.
  • Documents that carry their own pictures inside them open properly. A
    markdown file with its images inlined is how a report travels as a single
    file. Markie was throwing every one of those images away on the way into the
    editor, and stripping them again on the way out to HTML, PDF and a shared
    link. All three now keep them.
  • Links to files beside the document open them. [the spec](spec.pdf) used
    to do nothing at all, silently, which is indistinguishable from a broken app.
    It opens the file in whatever your Mac opens it with, and says why when it
    cannot.

Fixed

  • Dark PDFs fill the page. Every page came out as a dark rectangle floating
    in a white frame, with the frame reappearing between pages. The whole sheet is
    the document's colour now, on every page, and the margin holds on page two and
    after. Light exports are unchanged, and both keep a line from being stranded
    on its own at a page break.
  • Projects is a tab in the Library, not a page of its own. It used to be a
    full-width view behind an unlabelled icon in the left rail, which meant
    leaving your document to go and look at a list. It sits in the Library panel
    beside Recent now, with one search field over project names and file names
    together. Expand a project to see its files; the project holding whatever you
    are reading is already open. The tab that listed real folders on your disk is
    gone: the structure is Markie's own, over files that never move.
  • Exported HTML is readable on a screen. It ran the full width of the window
    before, which is wider than anyone finishes a line of.
