MarsEdit
MarsEdit stores posts inside its database, not as loose files on disk. Marked therefore uses a dedicated preview workflow that talks to the running MarsEdit application.
MarsEdit Preview window
Choose . Marked asks AppleScript to read the front post in MarsEdit (Red Sweater’s bundle IDs for direct, Mac App Store, Setapp, and MarsEdit 4/5 are recognized). Keep MarsEdit running with a document open while you work.
- Manual refresh: save from Marked’s preview if you want to force an update.
- Automatic updates: enable watching so each MarsEdit autosave refreshes Marked.
If no post is available, Marked surfaces a short error in the preview instead of stale text.
Extended posts
Content in MarsEdit’s extended field is separated in Marked’s preview and source using a WordPress-style <!--more--> divider so pagination-oriented sites (WordPress, Jekyll, etc.) still see the break. The comment is harmless elsewhere.
Tags and categories in metadata
MarsEdit’s tags and categories are exposed to the MultiMarkdown metadata block. With the MultiMarkdown processor (), you can reference them like:
Tagged: [%tags]
