This is a huge update. First and foremost, Marked 2 is now sandboxed. Your preferences will need to be updated after you upgrade.

The bundle ID has changed to com.brettterpstra.marked2 for those who might have been scripting based on the previous bundle ID.

Marked now has a URL handler that allows you to refresh all documents or a specific document, open files, preview url encoded text or automatically paste from the clipboard.

The Discount processor option now uses a fully GitHub Flavored Markdown compatible processor.

Don’t miss the new navigation features, including the Mini Map (type “0” when viewing a document longer than 3 window lengths) and better bookmarking (Hold Option and type a number to create a bookmark that will move with the document as it changes).

There are some major improvements and fixes as well. See below for a full list.

NEW

• Sandboxed
• Discount is now GFM Markdown
• URL Handler

Navigation

• Mini Map navigation with magnifier and fast scrolling
• Bookmark based on proximity to nearest headline
• Preserve bookmarks across refreshes and style changes

• New popup and overlay styling
• Added %%(text) for running header on printing first page
• Count sentences in selection
• Accept json array in metadata for processor arguments

IMPROVED

• PDF export stability

• Allow multiple selections when adding custom CSS
• Shift-click “accordion” for collapsible headlines
• GitHub nested checkboxes and styling

NEW

• Popups for file links with appropriate options
• Passive Voice detection in Keyword Highlight mode

IMPROVED

• Expanded “Use Alternate” default proofing dictionary

FIXED

• Collapsing of headers with Cmd-click in TOC was broken
• Hide “include chart” during print/PDF operations
• Footnote label inconsistency in HTML output

FIXED

• Quick fix for broken link hovers/click popups.

NEW

• Opening a file:// url from within an open document will offer the option to open the file in the default application for that filetype
• Opening a link to a text file will offer to open it in a new window or replace the current window
  • these selections can be made persistent

IMPROVED

• 3 options for handling YAML headers (Ignore, strip, convert to MMD Metadata)
• Secondary fenced code block conversion before final processing
  • If preprocessor scripts were doing their own substitution, fenced code blocks they created would be ignored.
• Updated Syntax Highlighting to highlight.js 8.0

FIXED

• Override aggressive image caching to allow image updates when changes are detected
• Tooltips updated
• Base Header Level, Quotes Language and other metadata not being recognized
• Draw problem with Readability stats display
• Fix for collapsing headers

NEW

• MMD 4.5 with [%metadata] replacements

  • If you have MMD metadata at the top of your document, you can reference any key you create with [%keyname] (lowercased and without spaces) to have the value of the key inserted instead.

• Export with included style is no longer restricted by Strip MMD Metadata preference

• Header labels generated with dashes (GitHub style)

  • This is an across-the-board change that hopefully won’t upset anybody. It will allow conformance with 99% of GitHub’s handling of headers (last 1% in the works).

    If you are manually generating links based on Marked’s auto-generated headers, this may cause some issues you need to fix. I haven’t figured out a way to toggle this easily yet, but will attempt to do that in the near future.

• Feature to highlight malformed/incomplete Markdown elements in the preview (^⌘E / gear menu)

  • You can turn this to always-on-by-default in Window preferences, and still be able to toggle it per-document.

    If there are no errors in the document, it does nothing, so it’s safe to let it run all the time.

IMPROVED

• Tweaks to “Validate External Links” popup appearance and behavior

• Hide prefixes for empty items in exported TOC

• Accept MMD metadata key “CSS” for overriding styles per-document

  • “Marked CSS” and “Marked Style” already do this, now you can just use “CSS: stylename.css”

    Note that styles must be included in Marked —- either using the base styles or any custom styles —- in order to be recognized. You can simply add a style you want to use in the Style Preferences, and then reference it by its name or full filename (stylename works as well as stylename.css).

• Close button for Find bar

  • because normal people don’t always hit Escape.

FIXED

• TOC popup missing if “Print Table of Contents” was disabled (introduced in build 819)

FIXED

• Fix for the part of the Table of Contents feature that I broke when I was fixing the other part of the Table of Contents feature.
• Exported TOC works with non-alphanumeric characters in headlines

IMPROVED

• More accurate place-holding when zooming in and out (“z”)
• Toggle headers and footers in PDF export on Save Dialog

• Print borders below headers and/or above footers (optional)
• Allow custom pre-processor when using Fountain
• New Style: Grump (Command-9)
• Option to hide success results when validating all links

• Fix for finding diff point when changing table column alignment

FIXED

• Don’t process fenced code blocks when “running” a custom processor

NEW

• Use any MMD Metadata header as a variable in print/PDF headers and footers:

  Simply convert your metadata header name to lowercase and remove spaces, then use %md_variablename to include it in the header or footer field.

FIXED

• Overzealous stripping of MMD metadata headers in preview

NEW

• Customizable headers and footers for print/PDF
  • variables include title, date, time, page number and page count

Yep, page numbers and more. In the Print preferences, define text headers for top left, top right, bottom left, and/or bottom right. Use static text and any of the variables (%title, %date, %time, %page, %total) to add important information when printing or saving to PDF.

%title will use any available MultiMarkdown Metadata “Title:” header, or fall back to the filename sans extension.

FIXED

NEW features

• Create blank new files and optionally open them in external editor automatically

  That’s right, ⌘N does something now. No, Marked is not planning to be an editor, but it now allows you to start a new document and open it in both Marked and your text editor from one place.

• Added the ability to save a Clipboard (⌘⇧V) Preview

  • Use the Save Clipboard Preview command in the File and Gear menus
  • When pressing ⌘E (Edit in External Editor) on a Clipboard Preview, before opening the editor it will allow you to save it to disk.
  • If you don’t manually save a clipboard preview, it’s considered transient and is cleaned up when the window closes. No annoying “Unsaved” warnings and no more UUID strings in the recent files menu.

• “Quick Toggles” in App Menu for global preferences that you may want to switch on and off quickly. *Some of these may become per-document settings, but for now affect all open documents on refresh *

CriticMarkup

• CriticMarkup Preview toolbar now shows the correct word count for each tab
• Detailed Info palette now shows correct stats for the current tab
  • I said it would be too hard to do, but I figured it out the same day the support request came in. Yay…

Book formats and multi-file documents

• Updates for Leanpub authors
  • handle Book.txt files without older “frontmatter:” requirement
  • Clean up {tokens}
  • X> block support coming, as well as handling for code block format specifiers
• In documents using include syntax or in index files (Leanpub/mmd_merge):
  • turn on Show Boundaries Of Included File in the gear menu (^⌘B) to place a line on the left side of your preview showing where various included files start and end, including support for nested and repeated includes.
    • Hovering over the bar will show you the name of the file it represents, and clicking will open that file in the default external editor.
  • Press ⇧I within a preview to see which included file is currently visible in the viewport. Pressing Return after showing the filename will open it in your external editor.
