Features
- Real-time preview
- Supports multiple Markdown syntax formats with easy switching
- Supports export to HTML/PDF
- Native support for the Chinese language, making it easy to use
- Built-in image upload and syntax highlighting
Setting Chinese Language
After installation, the default interface is in English, but it can be easily changed. Go to Tools -> Options -> Language and select Chinese to save. See the screenshot below.
HTML Rendering Errors
If you are a Windows 10 user and find that Markdown does not support real-time preview and an HTML rendering error appears, simply install awesomium_v1.6.6_sdk_win and restart the application.
Official Website
The official website is markdownpad.com. You can download the latest version or purchase a professional license here. Additionally, WizNote is also recommended as it supports Markdown syntax. However, the two have different positioning: one is an editor, and the other is a cloud-based knowledge management note-taking app. Choose according to your needs.
