MacDown

MacDown is heavily influenced by Mou, and I try to mimic much of its behaviour as much as possible both in UI and the logic underneath, only making changes when I feel that improvement is necessary. Highlights include: highly customisable Markdown rendering, syntax highlighting in fenced code blocks and sophisticated auto-completion. MacDown accepts pull requests on aliases to existing languages, but not new syntax highlighting rules. If you wish to provide additional language definitions and/or themes, please visit Prism’s project page and submit them there. I will include updates from Prism after your pull request is accepted.
