🚀 Highlights

📂 Opens as your default markdown editor v1.0.30

Click any .md file and it opens straight in MD Pretty Viewer — no extra command, no raw-text flash.

  • Registered as a VS Code custom editor for .md · .markdown · .mdown · .mkd
  • Works for every open path: Explorer click, Quick Open, terminal Ctrl/Cmd+click, and file links from Claude Code / other extensions (they use vscode.open, which honors the default editor)
  • Want the raw source? Right-click the tab → Reopen Editor With… → Text Editor. To make raw text the default, set "workbench.editorAssociations": { "*.md": "default" }
  • git diff and compare views stay the plain text diff — reviewing changes is never intercepted
✍️ Edit right in the preview v1.0.29

The headline feature — no mode switch, no raw markdown.

  • Click a rendered block (paragraph, heading, list, quote) and edit it in place; it round-trips back to clean markdown on save
  • + handle inserts any block type — text, headings, lists, checkboxes, quote, code, table, image, link, divider
  • ⠿ handle drags to reorder, or opens a menu to move / duplicate / delete
  • / slash menu converts the current block to another type, Notion-style
  • Tables: add / remove rows & columns and cycle column alignment while editing a cell; Tab hops cells and the last cell adds a new row
  • Code blocks open a dedicated editor (language field + Tab indent, no fence fiddling)
  • Links: click to edit text & URL in a popover; checkboxes: click to toggle [ ]↔[x] in the source
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Z / Shift+Z undo & redo, right in Preview
👀 View modes — Preview / Edit / Split
  • Preview renders your markdown like a reading view
  • Edit is a clean monospace editor with line numbers
  • Split shows both side-by-side with anchor-based scroll sync
  • Double-click anywhere to toggle Preview ↔ Edit instantly
🖼 Image lightbox v1.0.2

Click any image in Preview → full-screen view. Wheel to zoom · double-click for 2.5× · drag to pan · ESC to close.

🔍 In-preview search v1.0.2

Cmd/Ctrl + F in Preview opens an in-page search bar with match highlighting and Enter / Shift+Enter navigation. Edit mode uses Find & Replace.

📌 Outline scroll tracking v1.0.2

The outline sidebar highlights the current section as you scroll, with a colored side-bar and auto-scrolling to keep the active item visible.

🔗 Smart URL paste v1.0.2

Select text → paste a URL → automatically becomes [selected text](https://github.com/INNO-HI-Inc/md-viewer/blob/HEAD/url). Multi-line selections and non-URL clipboards are passed through unchanged.

📄 PDF export with options v1.0.2

Before exporting, choose:

  • Paper size (A4 / Letter)
  • Orientation (portrait / landscape)
  • Margin preset (narrow / normal / wide)
  • Running header on/off
  • Page number on/off

Choices persist via localStorage. A4-optimized layout with smart page breaks — table headers repeat, code blocks avoid splits.

🧮 LaTeX math via KaTeX

Inline: $E = mc^2$ · Block: $$\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}dx$$ All KaTeX fonts bundled — works offline.

📈 Mermaid diagrams

Render Mermaid diagrams from ```mermaid code blocks. The 3.3 MB library is lazy-loaded only when needed.

📊 Tables that work everywhere
  • Theme-aware design (light/dark/print)
  • Horizontal scroll wrapper for wide tables, with edge-shadow hints
  • PDF: wrapper removed; headers repeat across page breaks
📑 Outline sidebar + auto TOC

H1–H4 automatically extracted into a navigable tree. Insert [[TOC]] or [[목차]] anywhere to embed a table of contents in the document body.

☐ Live checkboxes

Click checkboxes directly in Preview — source markdown updates automatically ([ ] ↔ [x]).

💾 Save status + writing stats

Status bar shows ● Modified / ◐ Saving / ✓ Saved plus word count, character count, and estimated reading time.
