Live Preview
Typora use the feature: Live Preview, meaning that you could see these inline styles after you finish typing, and see block styles when you type or after you press Enter key or focus to another paragraph. Just try to type some markdown in typora, and you would see how it works.
Note: Markdown tags for inline styles, such as ** will be hidden or displayed smartly. Markdown tags for block level styles, such as ### or - [x] will be hidden once the block is rendered.
You could switch to source code mode temporary from menu bar, footer bar or short cut key (ctrl+/). But we only provide very basic support for source code mode and won’t recommend users to do so.
Markdown For Typora
Typora is using GitHub Flavored Markdown .
To see full markdown Syntax references and extra usage, please check Help->Markdown Reference in menu bar or About panel.
Shortcut Keys
You could find shortcut keys in the right side of menu items from menu bar. For custom shortcut keys, please refer here.
Copy
We create typora and want to make it your default markdown editor, thus copy and paste means copy from another app or paste to another app, instead of copy/paste from/to another markdown editor. Therefore, by default, Copy means Copy As HTML ( and Paste means Paste from HTML).
However, after click “Copy Markdown source by default”, typora will copy selected text in HTML/markdown format (When pasting, rich editors will accept the HTML format, while plain text / code editor will accept the markdown source code format).
To copy Markdown source code explicitly, please use shortcut key shift+cmd+c or Copy as Markdown from menu. To Copy as HTML Code, please select Copy as HTML Code from menu.
Smart Paste
Typora is able to analyze styles of the text content in your clipboard when pasting. For example, after pasting a <h1>HEADING</h1> from some website, typora will keep the 'first level heading’ format instead of paste ‘heading’ as plain text.
To paste as markdown source or plain text, you should use paste as plain text or press the shortcut key: shift+cmd+v.
Themes
Please refer to Help → Custom Themes from menu bar.
Publish
Currently Typora only support to export as PDF or HTML. More data format support as import/export will be integrated in future.
Auto Save and File Recovery
Typora support auto save feature, user could enable it from preference panel.
Typora does not provide professional version control and file backup feature, but typora would backup the last file content from time to time automatically, so even when typora crashes or users forget to save the file before close, it is possible to recovery most of the work by clicking Recovery Unsaved Drafts from preference folder, and copy out backed-up files. The File name in this folder is consists of last saved date, originally file name and last saved timestamp.
