Markdown Support
Reader supports the Markdown elements commonly used in notes and documentation.
Supported content
Section titled “Supported content”- Headings
- Lists
- Tables
- Task lists
- Fenced code blocks
- Blockquotes
- Links
- Images stored with the document
- Optional images from the web
Code blocks
Section titled “Code blocks”Reader adds syntax highlighting to many fenced code blocks. The required highlighting files are included with the app, so code blocks do not depend on an online service.
HTML in Markdown files
Section titled “HTML in Markdown files”Reader does not run HTML included in a Markdown file. HTML-like text is shown as text instead. This keeps documents predictable and reduces the risk of opening an unfamiliar file.
Reader themes
Section titled “Reader themes”Choose System, Light, Dark, or Sepia in Reader settings. Windows continues to control High Contrast colors.
