mac markdown

Markdown provides a convenient way to add formatting to a plain text document, while leaving it in plain text. It’s simpler and faster than adding HTML markup, and doesn’t have the lock-in of using something like Microsoft Word.

Markdown提供了一种方便的方式来将格式添加到纯文本文档中，同时将其保留为纯文本格式。 它比添加HTML标记更简单，更快捷，并且没有使用Microsoft Word之类的锁定功能。

The syntax was created by John Gruber way back in 2004, and seems to become more widely used every year, especially in blogs and forums. It’s an easy and efficient way to create online content, and has a number of benefits for writers and bloggers.

该语法由John Gruber于2004年创建，并且似乎每年都在广泛使用，尤其是在博客和论坛中。 这是一种创建在线内容的简便有效的方法，并且对作家和博客作者有很多好处 。

Because Markdown is just plain text, you can create it with any text editor. That’s part of its appeal. But using an editor designed for writing in Markdown has a lot of advantages, depending on your needs.

因为Markdown只是纯文本，所以可以使用任何文本编辑器创建它。 这是其吸引力的一部分。 但是，根据您的需求，使用专为Markdown编写的编辑器有很多优势。

Here are some features you might expect to find in a Markdown editor:

以下是您可能希望在Markdown编辑器中找到的一些功能：

• Syntax highlighting and a preview pane to show you how your final document will look.
  语法高亮显示和预览窗格，以向您显示最终文档的外观。
• Familiar keyboard shortcuts, like command-B for bold.
  熟悉的键盘快捷键，例如Command-B表示粗体。
• Export and conversion features that easily transform your document from Markdown to HTML, PDF, DOCX or a number of other formats. Some Markdown editors can publish directly to WordPress, Medium and more.
  导出和转换功能可轻松将您的文档从Markdown转换为HTML，PDF，DOCX或其他多种格式。 一些Markdown编辑器可以直接发布到WordPress，Medium等。
• A distraction-free mode that takes advantage of features like full-screen editing, dark mode and typewriter mode.
  一种无干扰的模式，可利用全屏编辑，暗模式和打字机模式等功能。
• Features that appeal to writers, including word count, readability scores, and versions.
  吸引作家的功能，包括字数，可读性得分和版本。
• A document library to organize your content and sync between devices. Some editors have an iOS version so you can keep working while you’re on the move.
  一个文档库，用于组织您的内容并在设备之间同步。 一些编辑器具有iOS版本，因此您可以在旅途中继续工作。
• Advanced formatting, including tables and mathematical expressions.
  高级格式，包括表格和数学表达式。

There’s a rich landscape of Mac options, and the best choice for me may not be the best choice for you. Not all Markdown editors will support all of those features, so the trick is to find the editor with the features you need.

Mac选项丰富多样，对我来说最好的选择可能不是您的最佳选择。 并非所有Markdown编辑器都支持所有这些功能，因此诀窍是找到具有所需功能的编辑器。

So let’s have a good look at the options, then we’ll make some recommendations.

因此，让我们看一下这些选项，然后提出一些建议。

1.使用您喜欢的文本编辑器 (1. Use Your Favorite Text Editor)

If you already have a favorite Mac text editor, you might prefer to use that for writing Markdown as well. Of course, Markdown is really just text, so any text editor will do. But many text editors have additional support for Markdown, either natively or through an extension or plugin. These may give syntax highlighting, a preview pane and other features.

如果您已经有了喜欢的Mac文本编辑器，则可能更希望将其用于编写Markdown。 当然，Markdown实际上只是文本，因此任何文本编辑器都可以。 但是，许多文本编辑器本身或通过扩展或插件都对Markdown提供了额外的支持。 这些可以提供语法突出显示，预览窗格和其他功能。

Filters can be used to create smart folders that update according to the flexible criteria you specify.

Writers will appreciate features like word and character count, writing goals that indicate when you reach the desired word count, notes and attachments for your reference information, and keywords. You can export your documents to a variety of text and rich text formats, HTML, ePub, PDF and DOCX. Or you can publish directly to WordPress or Medium.

My take: I purchased Ulysses on the day it was released, and I’ve been using it ever since. It has become my writing tool of choice. It’s not cheap, but it’s been worth every penny. If you do a lot of writing, professionally or otherwise, take a good look at this app.

My take: Quiver is the ultimate Markdown (and code and LaTeX) editor for devs. Its document library can be synced to your other computers and devices via Dropbox. It’s a geekier alternative to Ulysses, designed with a completely different audience in mind, at an affordable price point.

我的看法：Quiver是开发人员的终极Markdown(以及代码和LaTeX)编辑器。 它的文档库可以通过Dropbox同步到您的其他计算机和设备。 这是Ulysses的更怪异的选择，它以合理的价格提供了完全不同的受众群体。

Other features include quick open, math and table support, custom styles, and distraction-free mode.

其他功能包括快速打开，数学和表格支持，自定义样式和无干扰模式。

My take: This is a Ulysses alternative without quite the same range of features. It does some things that Ulysses can’t, including tables and math. While not as expensive, it’s certainly not cheap. If its range of features matches what you need in a Markdown editor, it’s worth considering.

我的看法：这是Ulysses的替代产品，但功能范围并不完全相同。 它完成了尤利西斯无法做到的某些事情，包括表格和数学。 虽然不那么贵，但肯定不便宜。 如果其功能范围与Markdown编辑器中所需的功能匹配，则值得考虑。

IA Writer是一款无干扰的Markdown编辑器，可将重点放在您的内容上。 就像Byword一样，但是有更多的功能和更少的简单性。

尽管很简单，但是Typora支持图像，列表，表格，代码围栏，数学块，目录等等。 快捷键可以满足您的期望，并且主题很漂亮，并且可以通过CSS完全配置。 极客会在这里找到很多值得爱的地方。

对于具有数学思想的人，支持LaTeX表达式，并在光标离开它们后立即在屏幕上呈现它们。 对于无干扰的书写，都支持暗模式，聚焦模式和打字机模式。

My take: I’ve only recently discovered Caret, and for a minimalistic editor it seems to have a lot of power under the hood. Writing, rather than exporting, is its strength. SitePoint editor Bruno Skvorc is a heavy user of the app, and couldn’t be happier.

I love the checkbox feature, the way images are displayed inline, and the way tags are added. These features make it an excellent note taker. I could use the app for writing, but Ulysses has become my tool of choice.

我的看法：我在Bear仍处于Beta版时发现了它，并立即开始使用它。 我现在是Bear Pro订户。 我喜欢复选框功能，内联显示图像的方式以及添加标签的方式。 这些功能使其成为出色的笔记记录者。 我可以使用该应用程序进行书写，但尤利西斯已成为我的首选工具。

Mou bylines itself as “the missing Markdown editor for web developers”. It’s light and responsive. Be aware that until Mou 1.0 ships, the app only works on versions of macOS up to 10.11; it doesn’t (at the time of writing) support Sierra or High Sierra.

Features include a configurable syntax highlighting, live preview, TeX-like math syntax, and auto-completion.

我的看法：Haroopad仍处于测试阶段，英文文档仍然很少。 但是该应用程序非常灵活，具有大量功能，并且支持主要的桌面操作系统。 而且价格合适。

那么，什么是最适合您的Mac编辑器？ (So, What Is the Best Mac Editor for You?)
