Reading

How to open files, adjust the reader, and export. Overview: Overview.

Open documents​

  • File → Open… (or the toolbar) to open a .md file
  • Open Recent for recently opened paths
  • Drag and drop Markdown files onto the window
  • Multiple tabs: switch, close, and optionally restore open tabs on launch (Settings)

Window size, sidebar, and scroll position are remembered per document when a path is known.

Contents sidebar​

Toggle the contents pane to browse:

  • TOC — headings from the current file
  • Thumbnails — page-style overview when available

You can collapse TOC sub-levels and resize the sidebar width.

Appearance​

From the toolbar or Settings:

ControlEffect
ThemeLight / Dark / System
Font sizeBody text in points (Word-style)
Page zoomScale the page (about 50–200%)
TemplateDefault / Compact / Serif reading layouts
LanguageEnglish / Chinese / follow system

Export​

Desktop Export menu:

  • PDF… / Word… — template-based export (Typst + Pandoc; set paths in Settings if needed)
  • HTML… / Markdown… — lighter exports

Browser / web preview mode uses print or lightweight downloads instead of full desktop export.

Settings worth knowing​

  • Restore open tabs on launch
  • Auto-check / auto-download updates
  • Export template choice and Typst / Pandoc binary paths (Auto = PATH, then app-bundled fallback)
