5. **Outline View**: Automatically parse Markdown headings to generate a document outline for quick navigation.
6. **Markdown PNG Export**: Export Markdown content as PNG for sharing, archiving, or quick publishing.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-08

* On macOS and iPhone, added offline Mermaid diagram rendering in Markdown preview with size controls and colors that follow the selected theme.
* On macOS, expanded Finder Quick Look to render Mermaid diagrams, syntax-highlighted code blocks, local Markdown images after folder access, and separate code themes for light and dark appearance.
* Added separate light and dark code-theme choices across Apple previews, so code remains readable when the system appearance changes.
* Opened ordinary links from rendered previews in the default browser while keeping local document anchors inside Writer.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-07-17

* Fixed a crash that could occur when undoing Markdown edits by rebuilding the undo architecture around native text-edit operations for more reliable undo and redo.
* Synced editor accent colors with the selected Markdown theme, including live updates when switching themes.
* Improved emphasis rendering and delimiter detection for a more accurate Markdown writing experience.
* Preserved find and replace text when switching between editing and preview modes on macOS.
* Avoided unnecessary folder permission prompts when saving plain Markdown files without local media references.
* Improved PNG export reliability when Markdown images are missing or unavailable.
* Fixed the edited state after the first save of a new document.
* Made double-clicking the macOS title bar expand the window to the full available screen height while preserving its original size for quick restore.
