I just installed this and what I found was that it works nicely but, at least on OSX, it renders correctly but doesn't copy # or ## elements during a copy / paste operation. It correctly saves them to do disc but doesn't put them in the paste buffer. Pity. Its a pretty app but if they got that wrong, I wonder what else is lurking.
I don't need another editor that writes files. I could, however, use something I can paste markdown into, fix a formatting issue, and move back to a text buffer in a browser / Github readme, etc.
- fuzzygroup 10y agoUpdate: I just dug into it some more and there is a specific Copy to Markdown (shift+command+c) command so that does make it a bit more interesting for me as a command+tab paste / fix / shift+command+c way of debugging markdown hell. Apologies for the initial error.
- MattBearman 10y agoIf you just select all and copy a lot of formatting is lost. However, you can go Edit > Copy As Markdown (shift+cmd+c) and that keeps all formatting, even headings
- fuzzygroup 10y agoI just tested a use case of: * paste in a Jekyll formatted markdown document * select all (which it couldn't do with something of 3,103 words - I had to do it manually) * shift+command+c to copy it as markdown * paste it into a TextMate window * The initial ---- markup to denote the header block is missing * The tags: [] array statement is converted into a header I hope the author notices; it really is pretty.
