Markdown

Cacher has special editing and rendering features for Markdown files, making it easy to draft and organize documentation.

Note: Learn more about Markdown and its syntax.

Composing

Click the dropdown arrow next to the New Snippet button.
Select Markdown.
Typing Markdown in the editor will cause the preview panel to automatically render the HTML equivalent.
Click Save to create the snippet.

Note: If the Sync Scrolling option is enabled, the preview panel will automatically scroll to where your cursor is in the editor.

Note: You can also manually create a Markdown snippet file by giving any file an extension of .md

Task Lists

You can create Task Lists to keep track of todos and other checklists. Click the Add a task list button in the Markdown editor toolbar to add a Task List item. You can also enter the syntax into the editor directly.

Once a Task List item has been rendered, you can check/uncheck it by clicking directly on the checkbox. We'll automatically update the underyling source code.

Task Lists are enabled for snippet files, description and comments. Only users with edit permissions can click on checkboxes. (i.e. Disabled for team viewers.)

Attachments

You can directly upload images or files to insert into your Markdown document. Click the Attach File button and select one or more files to upload.

Note: For an even faster way of uploading files, just drag and drop them into the editor area.

Images

Uploaded images will be displayed directly in your Markdown document.

Note: You can also paste images from your clipboard directly into the editor.

Files

Uploading any non-image files will insert a link to the uploaded file.

Exporting

You can export Markdown files by clicking on HTML or PDF options in the snippet file header, next to the icon.
