Better Markdown Editing for Windows

Markdown Monster is a powerful, yet easy to use, dedicated Markdown editor with syntax highlighting and sophisticated and fast edit features. A collapsible, synced, live preview lets you see your output as you type and scroll. Easily embed or paste images, links, tables and code using raw markup or our smart UI helpers to simplify many operations with a few keystrokes or a click or two. Paste images from the clipboard or drag and drop from Explorer or our built-in file browser. Inline spell-checking and word counts keep your content streamlined.

You can export Markdown to PDF or HTML on disk or copy Markdown selections as HTML to the clipboard. The HTML preview can display syntax colored code snippets for most coding languages.

Choose from light or dark app themes and individually selectable and customizable preview and editor themes. Use the built-in folder browser to open, manage and drag files into content, the document outline to quickly jump through your open document, or the shell integration to shell out to Explorer, Terminal, Image Editor, Diff tool or your favorite Git client. Git support is also built-in to see local Git status and to commit to and update your repositories.

Everything is at your finger tips, but out of your way until you need it. .

Weblog Publishing

Markdown Monster can also publish your Markdown directly to your Weblog Service. If your blog supports WordPress, MetaWeblog, Jekyll or Medium, you can publish your documents with one click. You can also edit and republish, or download existing posts and even convert existing posts from HTML to Markdown.

Extensible via .NET

We also wanted to make sure the editor is highly extensible, so you can add custom features of your own. Markdown Monster includes an addin model that makes it easy to build extensions that let you hook into the UI, the editor behavior, markdown rendering and the publishing process. We also provide useful Scripting and Text Templating addins that let you automate many tasks without creating an addin. Find out more about creating an addin with .NET.
