I believe that many people use Markdown to write articles. Markdown syntax is simple and convenient to use, and almost all major platforms support Markdown syntax.
So, how to choose a handy Markdown editor is a problem, especially for my obsessive-compulsive disorder.
I have tried almost all of the Markdown editors on the market, but none of them are completely satisfactory to me. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages.
I have used Youdaoyun Note, Weizhi Note, Cmd Markdown, Evernote, Typora, MarkdownPad, Little Bookmaker, etc.
I am obsessive-compulsive, and I am very troubled.
Today I will recommend a few Markdown editors that I think are not bad. Of course, the Windows platform is an example.
- Elegant and generous--Typora
- Almost perfect--Cmd Markdown
- "Unremarkable"-Evernote
- Swiss Army Knife-Little Bookmaker
They all cover the basic functions of Markdown, but they all have their own highlights and shortcomings.
Elegant and generous--Typora
Official website: https://typora.io
Typora is the new favorite of Markdown on Windows
For people to recommend the Markdown editor for Windows
Typora is definitely among the best
No way, the parents are really good-looking!
But people are not just a vase
The page style is simple and generous at the same time
Function is everything
Pictures, tables, mathematical formulas, code highlighting, PDF&HTML export, flow charts...
Further, Typora supports code pattern edit and edit preview mode switching , with the shortcut keys Ctrl /to switch
This feature is unique to Typora
Edit in preview mode, what you edit is what you see, what you see is what you get
For example, the table function:
After inserting the table
It can be exactly like operating a table in Excel
Row, column operations, cell operations, etc.
Obviously, Typora is a super- looking , fully functional Markdown editor , and it also supports Linux and Mac versions .
However, Typora has the following shortcomings:
①Unable to integrate the picture bed , you can only upload it to the picture bed first, and then manually insert the external link
② Markdown files cannot be synchronized in the cloud , and other synchronization tools are needed.
Almost perfect--Cmd Markdown

Cmd Markdown I thought it was a Markdown editor comparable to Typora
The page is also simple and comfortable
There are a lot of basic functions, such as formulas, codes, flowcharts, Gantt charts, sequence charts, tables , etc.
Most importantly, Cmd Markdown supports cloud synchronization , which is a boon for people writing on multiple platforms!
In addition, Cmd Markdown also supports Web version, Linux version, Windows version, Mac version
Cmd Markdown also supports article publishing
After publishing, a third party can access your article through the external link you published
Equivalent to a blog system
However, the following features of Cmd Markdown are charged:
Export PDF&HTML, export to Evernote, upload picture attachments, etc.
Moreover, the last few logins always appear
And the last update is already in 2017
Maybe its function is complete enough, no other updates are needed
However, as a personally maintained software, I am still a little worried about using it
I don’t know how Cmd Markdown will develop in the future
Will such a good software keep doing it?
Will the articles and pictures stored in the cloud always be there?
in conclusion
① Rich functions, simple pages, support cloud synchronization
② There is a charge for picture beds, custom picture beds are not supported (the paid version does not support custom picture beds)
③ Charge for export and other functions
"Unremarkable"-Evernote
Elephant only started to support Markdown last year
For this, I was moved
I also wrote an article: I didn’t expect it to finally support Markdown...
So, I won’t say more here
Markdown functions are basically supported, and can be used as notes for cloud synchronization
Support various Markdown syntax
For a while, Elephant became my main Markdown editor
Because my note management also uses elephants
However, it still has some imperfections:
①It does not support image beds , and requires third-party tools such as PicGo
② Export can only be supported by printing in disguise
③ The mobile terminal does not support editing Markdown editing
④ Compared with the above two, the page is a bit "ugly"
Swiss Army Knife-Little Bookmaker
Official website: xiaoshujiang.com
Little bookmaker, I think many people have never heard of it
I also saw it when I searched online
Used it as the main Markdown editor for a while before
Today I will mainly introduce it to my friends
Start page
I have to say, there is no feeling of being tall
Although he looks average, he is capable
Little bookmaker, I use it, the following functions are not seen on other platforms
1. Picture bed binding
The mainstream image beds on the market basically support
This is not over yet, after binding the picture bed
2. Uploading pictures has become very easy
Click Insert picture, or use shortcut keys Ctrl gto select the picture to insert
Or, copy the picture directly and paste it directly in the editor
After the image is inserted, it will be automatically uploaded to the bound image bed, and an external link address will be generated
Look at the picture:
3. Storage binding
Little Bookmaker itself does not support cloud synchronization, but provides the function of binding other cloud storage
Supports some mainstream cloud notes and Git repositories
4. Multi-platform support
Like Cmd Markdown, it also supports Web version, Linux version, Windows version, Mac version
5. Other functions
6. Export
There are so many options to export
The paid version even supports exporting to epub and mobi formats!
7. Free vs paid
The free function of Little Bookmaker is already very rich, but the paid version is also available
Only 20 yuan/year! I already bought it myself anyway
Okay, that's it for the little bookmaker
Very rich and complete
But I have to pick the bones
① The page is not so concise and beautiful
② The richer the functions, the more cumbersome the configuration is. This is inevitable, and there is a certain learning cost
③ It would be better if it supports self-contained cloud synchronization
to sum up
In general, several editors have their own merits, and I personally provide the following reference standards:
- Simple cloud synchronization: Cmd Markdown
- Concise and easy to use: Typora
- Rich functions: Little Bookmaker
My current mainstream is Little Bookmaker Tencent Figure Bed Nut Cloud Synchronization
In addition, the several models introduced today do not perform well on the mobile phone. I usually use a hammer to make notes on the mobile phone.
Okay, that's it for today
