Markdown Monster 3.9 released. This is a maintenance release. Here's what's new:. • Mermaid file (.mmd) Support.• Support for Font Litagures.• Emoji embedding improvements.• Inline Python, C++ and Mermaid Syntax Highlighting.• Improved Arm64 installs.

Added support for standalone Mermaid files (.mmd) to Markdown Monster, to open and render Mermaid diagrams without requiring embedded Markdown syntax. As with Markdown embedded Mermaid diagrams, the preview is live as you make changes. Request came up a few times now.

I know it's been long overdue but the Find Dialog in Markdown Monster now properly supports line breaks and other escaped characters when using the RegEx. Thanks to the folks at ACE Editor to addressing this issue after many years, which fixes it it in MM as well.

Just to clarify not all languages that the main editor supports for document editing are supported in inline syntax highlighting for Markdown code snippets in order to keep the Markdown parsing fast. Each language added adds a little overhead in the editor so we have to keep.

We're adding some languages that display w/ inline syntax highlighting in the editor in Markdown Monster. There's new support for Python and C/C++ which seem to be very popular in our user base, in addition to C# and Web languages which have always been supported. #python #cpp

Congratulations to all new and returning Microsoft MVPs in this July round of renewals. As a reminder, as an MVP you can get a free license for Markdown Monster. Head to the purchase page and scroll down to 'Apply for an MVP license'. #MSMVP #MVPBuzz.

Note that in the latest release we also added a `ctrl-shift-a` hotkey to bring up the AI completions menu more easily in your workflow, in addition to the new Insert Text Suggestions feature which can be manually triggered with `Ctrl-space`.

Did you know that you can use free GitHub models in Markdown Monster to access AI features?. GitHub offers low volume access to all sorts of models including OpenAI's gtp4.1-mini which works great with MM's various completion features.

Here's a list of everything that's new and updated. Version 3.8 has a lot of small improvements and bug fixes for this longer than usual release cycle.

The Git Commit Dialog also accesses many of the same features from the commit list along with common operations like push and pull and attaching to repos.

The Git Client and Diff Viewer are configurable in settings, with defaults detecting common clients on your machine if already installed.

Did you know that Markdown Monster has excellent integrated, in-context Git support?. * Commit Files.* Open Diff Editor.* Open Git Client.* Go to Terminal.* Open on GitHub. Options available on Document Tab or in the Folder Browser.

You can also copy the original text/html result and paste Html as Markdown (ctrl-shift-v), but depending on the chat client the result often contains lots of extended Html markup that doesn't translate well into Markdown. Still renders fine, but not nice to edit. Explicitly.

Did you know that you can turn Chat AI results into Markdown by asking for a Markdown string? . You can paste the result in Markdown Monster (or any editor) for further editing and management which is useful for custom storage, or adding content to documentation etc. #markdown

This feature (and any of the other AI features) require an OpenAI compatbile API key. In case you missed it there are other AI powered features:. * AI Image Generation and Management.* Document Summarization.* Grammar Checking.* Translation. that work with the same AI keys.

The Web Server allows for:. * Creating new documents.* Opening existing documents.* Retrieving the active document content. The Web Server has to be explicitly started or set to autostart. A JavaScript client library is also provided to make it easier to integrate.

The protocol handler logic lets you:. * Open MM with a new (untitled) document .* Open MM from a file.* Open MM with file content and title. Examples Urls:. markdownmonster:untitled.urlencoded,Hello+World.markdownmonster:c:\temp\ you can also pass JSON.

There are two ways you can do this:. * Protocol Handler. `markdownmonster:` allows for opening MM with or . without content pre-loaded . * Web Server. An optional Web server exposes a simple REST API . you can call to open documents and retrieve content.
