v1.2
This is ostensibly a stability release. There are a lot of features I didn’t include because I wanted to get a more stable version of Marked out as quickly as possible. It involved a complete rewrite of the file watcher and file handling systems to improve Dropbox compatibility and handle edge cases much more smoothly.
That being said, there are some exciting new features in here.
NOTE: The new file watcher uses Spotlight to pick up changes. It’s not faster than what I was using before, but it’s much more stable and deals well with things like files moving or being renamed while open in Marked. This does, however, mean that Spotlight indexing has to be turned on, and the file you’re working on has to be indexed by Spotlight (not in a folder set in privacy settings).
Fixed
- Dropbox errors after editing on iPad
- Dropbox issues in general
- Marked just not responding on longer files (tested up to 300k document)
- YAML header removal not working on all systems
- Crash when opening current Marked file in TextEdit and saving
- “HMTL” in opening webarchive
- CJK support should be fixed
- Problem reading non-UTF8 files
- Filename on Save HTML is the (filename - extension) .html instead of “Markdown Preview”
- nilString: bug, setTextColor: bug
- WindowController issues (re-open last doc not working, etc.)
- Copy/Select not working in Source View
- Copy/paste in the “custom markdown processor” text field in Prefs
- Arrow key navigation, home and end in Preview inoperable
New Features
- UI tweaks
- CSS style tweaks
- Markdown Compatibility mode
- mkd extension
- Save scroll position on update is rewritten and far more consistent
- also notes if you’re scrolled to the bottom and keeps you there as the document gets longer.
- Error message when the processor fails, not just a blank window
- Loading indicator
- Hotkey for “Edit in” configurable editor (⌘E)
- Reveal in Finder (⌘R)
- Option to suppress link highlighting (color/underline) in print output
- this option enables a body class called .suppressprintlinks. There’s an extra stylesheet loaded with a media query for print and a bunch of !important statements that will take care of this automatically. The body class doesn’t show up in exported HTML, though, so it’s up to you to include your own print styles if you’re printing from exported HTML.
- Option to limit text width in preview
- Bundled MMD3 binary (faster and can handle larger files)
- removes MMD3 metadata before rendering the preview
- This is necessary because MMD3 will generate a full HTML document automatically if there is any metadata present. Marked needs snippets to do it’s styling and injections for the preview. There’s a preference item that controls this happening in HTML export, though. If you want a pure MMD3 conversion, just uncheck that. You won’t get any of Marked’s styling, but all of your metadata will be included in the `` tag as usual.
- If a clicked link contains a “file:///” href and the file exists, it’s opened in the current window. This may eventually be incorporated with forward/back history, relative link recognition and [[link]] parsing. Marked as Wiki viewer…
- New find feature for searching and jumping around in web view. ⌘⌥F, then ⌘G (next result) and ⌘⇧G (previous result) will navigate the results.
- Detect straight HTML files (based on extension – htm, html, php, php4, php5 and erb) and present them without additional processing or styling (can be overridden in preferences, but why would you?). Now Marked can be used to preview full web documents as they’re modified. You can set your custom processor to ‘/usr/bin/php’ (or a rails script) and get a full PHP-processed view, too. This will eventually be able to track multiple files or full directory structures and update on any file change.
- Better word count/stats view, stays visible and non-invasive, updates on every save (Menu item or ⌘⌥S).
- New preference item for default preview style. Instead of saving the last-used style, it always uses the default and then you change on a per-doc basis. This is a stepping stone toward having per-document preferences saved automatically.
- New GitHub preview style, replacing the Gridless stylesheet. This can be combined, if desired, with a few rubygems and a custom script to get “GitHub-flavored” Markdown with pygments code highlighting. Even without that, though, the built in processor and style will give you an almost perfect rendition of your
readme.mdfile before you upload it. - Option to open new windows as “floated” (keep on top) by default.
