Marko
Changelog
Every release since June 2026, newest first. Marko is in free public beta and ships roughly weekly.
- v0.1.13Current
Windows ships, and three things stop looking wrong.
- The Windows installer is part of the release from here on. It is still unsigned, so Windows shows a "Windows protected your PC" screen the first time: More info, then Run anyway.
- The caret sits centred on the line again.
- The drag handle on tables no longer sits over the row it belongs to.
- Square roots render properly again; the KaTeX radical had lost its overbar.
- Licensing machinery is in the app but dormant. Nothing asks you for a key, and nothing is for sale until 1.0.
The first published Windows build.
- A Windows installer, public for the first time and unsigned, so Windows will warn you before it runs.
- Nothing you can see changed on macOS: this one was release and notarisation plumbing.
Any font you own, and updates that actually arrive.
- Use any font installed on your Mac, not just the ones Marko ships, including the commercial families an editor can never bundle for you.
- Save up to five of your own font pairings and switch between them in a click.
- Two new bundled families: Sedan for prose and Ioskeley Mono for code.
- Fixed in-app updates, which could never complete: the app was checking a domain nobody owned, and macOS updates install from an archive that was not being published.
- Fixed diagram labels containing a space: "Ship it" wrapped inside its box and had the second line clipped.
- Tightened block spacing so paragraph gaps hold their proportions at every line height.
Spellcheck that corrects, images that stay whole.
- Spellcheck suggestions now apply the correction instead of just offering it.
- Images no longer get cropped in the editor.
- Better code colours, and bullets that line up with their text.
- A release process that cannot quietly skip notarisation and ship an app Gatekeeper will refuse.
Images survive WYSIWYG, and typography you can steer.
- Images keep their sizing and alignment through a round trip in WYSIWYG mode.
- Typography controls: font size, line height and content width, live.
- Higher-contrast interface chrome across every theme.
- One definition of Marko's maths syntax, so what renders in the editor is what Pandoc exports.
- Repaired the Pandoc bridge for DOCX, ODT, EPUB, LaTeX and MediaWiki.
Line numbers that line up.
- The line-number gutter is measured rather than guessed, so it aligns in every mode and stops stealing width from the page.
Source line numbers in WYSIWYG, and table shading.
- Source line numbers in WYSIWYG mode: the first editor view that shows them without showing you the markup.
- Table width modes, full-bleed tables, and header and zebra shading.
- Code blocks respect the line-number setting.
Tables that size themselves, and one find bar everywhere.
- A layout solver that sizes table columns to their contents instead of splitting the width evenly.
- Column widths persist in a sidecar, so they survive being written back to markdown.
- Find and replace works the same way in all three modes.
Find and replace in WYSIWYG.
- Find and replace came to WYSIWYG mode, which had none.
- Typing latency improvements in long documents.
Multiple windows, printing, and knowing when a file changed.
- Open several documents at once in separate windows.
- Print straight from the app, using the same layout as PDF export.
- Marko notices when a file changes on disk underneath you and offers to reload, instead of silently overwriting.
- Table column widths carry through to export.
Dollar signs stay dollar signs.
- A lone $ is money again, not the start of an equation: "$54" stopped turning into maths.
- Click a heading in the outline to jump to it in WYSIWYG mode.
- Configurable PDF margins, and a choice of exporting diagrams as images or as their source.
The first public build.
- Three modes over one document: WYSIWYG, hybrid live-preview and raw markdown, a keystroke apart.
- Thirteen themes, bundled fonts, and a typography picker.
- Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX maths, rendered live.
- Pandoc bundled: export to PDF, Word, OpenDocument, EPUB, LaTeX and MediaWiki with nothing to install.
- Focus and typewriter modes, page breaks, a media lightbox, and drag-to-resize table columns.
Releases before v0.1.11 were cut before the release script started tagging, so those entries were reconstructed from the repository history rather than from a tag. Everything since is tagged and published.
