The next release will support Ctrl-Cmd-Up/Down, Shift-Ctrl-Up/Down and Shift-Opt-Up/Down.

thank you very much Christian.
Is there hope for scalable images ?

44

There are no such plans currently, maybe in a future release.

45

If you see the image (and not just its reference), youā€™re probably looking at HTML. Where sizing, as all other styling, is done with CSS and already possible.

If youā€™re looking for WYSIWYG, MD is not the right format. Nor is HTML.

With Bear 2 Beta is out, can we continue to use Panda? And I cannot open DEVONthink Markdown file directly in Bear 2. Any workaround? Or need to find another WYSIWYG Markdown editor?

My panda editor via TestFlight just renewed for 90 days.

Also the Bear developers said they would ultimately release panda on App Store.

Iā€™d vote for āŒ„ā†‘ and āŒ„ā†“, but thatā€™s because I consider Markdown closest to a markup or programming syntax and itā€™s the shortcut most of the editors/IDEs Iā€™ve used most recently (Nova, VSCode, Sublime Text) use. That said, ones Iā€™ve used in the pastā€”BBEdit, Textmateā€”use others, soā€¦

ā€œUltimately releaseā€

6 years laterā€¦

My panda is also just renewed for 90 days. Happy to keep using it even in TestFlight mode.

Well, there are flavors of markdown which support setting the width and height of an image (Multimarkdown v6 being one of them).

55

I know. Which still does not make MD the right tool for wysiwyg. The idea behind MD was to have a simple way to produce HTML. Which means that it is not HTML.
Adding attributes like width and height to an image looks nice. But nowadays, those values are only meant as indication for the browser for the desired aspect ratio. The actual with and height of the image are defined with other attributes, more appropriate for responsive layout. Which is why setting a width/height in an MD file doesnā€™t make a lot of sense.

My iOS panda is finally expired. I still have MacOS panda. Do you have a way to renew iOS panda? Or is there an equivalent alternative?

57

No Iā€™m in the same boat. I havenā€™t found a better markdown editor and canā€™t see a way to renew panda. Wish DTTG had some of the context menu options and WYSIWYG (or even option to load into edit mode rather than an unnecessary click).

58

Ok, until an equivalent alternative comes up, I will go back to DTTG for now.

Itā€™s not markdown but it works pretty well - the Bike outliner is proving handy for me.

The only glitch is Devonthink will transmute Bike files to HTML, which Bike will no longer edit. The workaround is to lock the Bike files in DT, which will still allow editing in Bike.

Being prone to forgetfulness, I do that with a smart rule.

My recent re-interest in Bike came from discovering that DT sees links inside Bike files, so incoming and backlinks work.

I come back to this post to note that the Ctrl-Cmd-Up/Down shortcut works like a charm and that I am really grateful. Thanks!
