Markdown WYSIWYG Editor

Edit Markdown files in a WYSIWYG custom editor that mirrors the preview layout while keeping the underlying Markdown document in sync.

Features

  • Two-way sync between the editor and the Markdown document
  • Basic formatting toolbar (bold, italic, inline code, code blocks, headings, ordered and unordered lists, links, images)
  • Toggleable split view with WYSIWYG editor alongside live Markdown source
  • WYSIWYG code blocks apply basic syntax highlighting on render
  • Link editing modal with Ctrl/Cmd-click to open links
  • External links open in the browser; local links open in the same editor
  • File picker for links and images inserts workspace-relative paths
  • Relative asset resolution uses the document folder as the base path
  • Markdown conversion supports tables, task lists, strikethrough, and fenced code blocks
