Markdown is a markup language that can be written using a plain text editor. With simple markup syntax, it allows plain text content to have some formatting. Markdown is very suitable for writing, and there are many online Markdown editors available. If you don't like online editing, I recommend MarkdownPad, a Markdown editor for Windows.

MarkdownPad has a free version and a professional version, priced at $14.95 USD. If you can afford it, you may consider purchasing the professional version. Now let's take a look at its features.

Features

• Real-time preview
• Supports multiple Markdown syntax formats, switch freely
• Supports export to HTML/PDF
• Native support for Chinese language, easy to use
• Built-in image upload, syntax highlighting

Setting Chinese Language

After successful installation, the default language is English. But you can easily change it by going to Tools -> Options -> Language -> Select Chinese and save. See the screenshot below.

HTML Rendering Error

If you are a Windows 10 user and find that using Markdown does not provide real-time preview and encounters HTML rendering errors, you just need to install awesomium_v1.6.6_sdk_win and restart the program.

Official Website

The official website is markdownpad.com, where you can download the latest version or purchase a professional license. Additionally, I recommend WizNote, which also supports Markdown syntax. However, the two have different purposes, one is an editor and the other is a cloud note-taking app for knowledge management. Choose according to your needs.
