EPYTOR🦖
简体中文 | English | GitHub
A WYSIWYG Markdown editor for VS Code, powered by Milkdown. Edit .md / .markdown as rich text, saved as standard Markdown.
The true starting point of this project is v1.1.0, forked from git-xing/md-wysiwyg-editor (MIT) v0.1.6.
v0.1.6 → v1.0.0 / v1.0.1: adapted for VS Code Marketplace (icons, i18n, README), fixed critical issues (blank-line accumulation on paste, table-cell enter no newline).
v0.1.6 → v1.1.0: rebuilt foundations (Milkdown 7.21.2 + Crepe / CodeMirror 6), new features (LaTeX math / image resize & caption / image picker), streamlined bloat. See CHANGELOG.
Features
- Rich text: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, blockquote, horizontal rule, lists
- LaTeX math: inline
$...$ / block $$...$$, KaTeX rendering
- Tables: GFM tables, insert/delete rows & columns, drag reorder, column alignment
- Code blocks: CodeMirror 6 highlighting, language picker, copy, fullscreen
- Mermaid diagrams: inline rendering, source/preview toggle
- Images: paste/drag/picker insert, drag resize, caption, load retry
- TOC: auto-generated, pinnable, click to navigate
- Path autocomplete:
@/, ./, ../ triggers directory browsing
- Toolbars: sticky top bar + floating selection toolbar
- Auto save: writes to disk 1s after editing stops

Requirements
Known Limitations
- Table cell click-selection temporarily disabled (Crepe upstream instability — clicks go to edit mode instead)
- Ordered list multi-level numbering uses decimal only (Milkdown kernel limitation)
- Global search may not scroll precisely with multiple
.md files open
- Some extended Markdown syntax (footnotes, inline HTML, etc.) not yet supported
- Narrow window (< 720px): toolbar auto-wraps — usable but less compact
- Inline styles (bold, italic, code, etc.) at paragraph end cannot exit to normal text (Milkdown upstream limitation, issue filed)
