It even watches embedded images for changes and refreshes them on the fly.Markdown is a plain text formatting syntax created by John Gruber, aiming to provide a easy-to-read and feasible markup. If you’re editing a stylesheet - for a Marked theme or for other web design projects - Marked updates its preview style live every time you save, without refreshing. It works with a folder full of notes or a structured book project in nested folders.

You can even drag an entire folder onto Marked’s icon and it will start displaying the most recently-edited Markdown or HTML file (you define the types) in the folder, updating every time you start editing a different file. It even tracks any files you include within a document using Marked’s special syntax or any of the supported book formats. Marked 2 detects changes and updates faster than ever. Marked has both pre-processor and processor options. In the remaining 10%, you can use other processors or custom scripts to get exactly the results you need. It normalizes most syntax differences, so even if you usually work in other formats, Marked works out of the box in 90% of use cases. It has the latest version of MultiMarkdown built in, with the option to render using Discount.

Whether you’re blogging, authoring a book, writing a report or editing a GitHub README file, Marked has you covered. With intelligent writing features, flexible options and a wide range of support for various markup formats, editing tools and publishing platforms, Marked is a smart addition to any writer’s arsenal. Marked 2 is the result of hundreds of hours of working to bring you the ultimate writing tool.
