#Markdown support

MDReader renders GitHub-Flavored Markdown through a single unified pipeline. This page is itself rendered by that pipeline — every feature below is live.

#Headings and outline

Headings h1–h6 become outline entries with stable anchor ids.

#Text

Bold, italic, ~~strikethrough~~, inline code, and autolinks like https://example.com all render. Footnotes work too.¹

#Tables

Feature	Renders	Notes
Tables	✓	GFM alignment respected
Task lists	✓	Rendered as task items
Footnotes	✓	Ids namespaced to avoid clashes

#Task lists

Parse frontmatter
Stamp source line ranges onto every block
Edit the file (that is the desktop app's job)

#Code

python

def read_time(words: int, wpm: int = 220) -> float:
    """Estimate minutes to read a document."""
    return words / wpm

#Math

Inline math renders with KaTeX: the golden ratio is $\varphi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$ . Display math too:

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}\,dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}

#Diagrams

Fenced mermaid blocks render as diagrams:

flowchart LR
  Source[Markdown file] --> Parse[Unified pipeline]
  Parse --> Read[Reading surface]
  Parse --> Index[CatDB index]
  Index --> Search[Cmd+K palette]

#Wikilinks

Type [[notes/provenance]] to link across the workspace. Resolvable targets are marked; dangling ones stay visibly unresolved.

#Footnotes

And land back where you left off. ↩
