Hi All,


I'm looking for an easy to use 'Markdown Editor' to use on my MAC.
(I have every limited HTML experience etc. Bit of a Newbie here!)


The immediate use would be to view Markdown files - which are exported from apples Notes.
- I.e. The Markdown files are saved, with any picture attatchments separate. It would be good to just open up the MD file, and view as a complete sheet, including the GIFs etc as it would be shown on the Apple Note, I exported from.
- See my separate thread on getting these Markdown files exported from Apple Notes, for backups.

Not sure what my more Longer term use would be for this Editor- Probably primarily an evolution of finishing off the MD files, before saving as PDFs as backups, or tidied documents to send others. Any web publishing is way down the line.



A useful web site I have come across is:
6 Best Markdown Editors for Macs.



Hope you can advise, I'm not sure which would be best for my use case.


Regards
Martin


PS:
I have been currently using apples own free native 'TextEdit' app to open the MD files.
Nice that Apple has all these apps in the background!
However, as I say, I'd Like to view the MD files in a complete 'website view' - With the Inserted pictures and tables in the view, ready for PDF export etc.
