General settings

Text Editor
Select a text editor to receive the current document when you type ⌘+E.
Edit new files automatically
When using the “New File” command, this option will automatically open the created file in your chosen external editor.
Links to text files should open in:
Determine Marked’s behavior when a link clicked in a preview window leads to a local text file.
Image Editor
Select an application to open when a local image is right clicked and “Edit image” is selected.
Image annotation/markup editor

If no editor is chosen, Marked presents a menu of installed applications when you edit or annotate. The menu includes common Markdown, image, and annotation tools found on your Mac, an Other… option to pick any app from /Applications, and Always use this app (enabled by default) to save your choice as the default. Use the clear button (circle with an X) next to each Choose control in Marked Settings, Apps pane to remove a selection and return to the picker.

Application-specific settings

Show comments and annotations by default
If checked, annotations made in Scrivener, Fountain, Word, and CriticMarkup documents will show up highlighted in the preview. Uncheck to hide completely. These can also be toggled while reading a document from the Gear Proofing (⌃+⌘+C) menu.
When comments are enabled, comments and footnotes will appear in a sidebar. Hovering over a comment will point to where it occurs in the document.

Hookmark

Resolve hook:// URLs in images and links
Marked can read URLs created by Hookmark, resolving them to their path on disk.

Leanpub/GitBook

Enable Leanpub support
Interpret files named Book.txt as index files and handle special Leanpub syntax.
Enable GitBook support
Interpret files named SUMMARY.md as index files for GitBook documentation.

MarsEdit

Include post title as Markdown header (h1)
Use the title of the selected post as a Markdown header.
Show metadata as table
When enabled, metadata such as categories and titles will be displayed as a Markdown table in the preview.

Folders

Only preview these extensions
When opening a folder, Marked will look for the most recently changed document, defaulting to extensions such as md, mmd, and html. The list here overrides the default.

DocC

(Info on DocC Support)

Resolve DocC image references
Inside a .docc documentation catalog, resolve extensionless ![](ImageName) references to images in the catalog Resources folder, including ~dark and @2x variants.
Resolve dark and @2x image variants
For local images with a file extension (images/icon.png), detect companion ~dark and @2x files in the same folder and emit responsive <picture> markup. Works in any Markdown or HTML document, not only DocC catalogs. See Image Variants.

Scrivener

(Info on Scrivener Support)

Include document titles as Markdown headers
Parse the title of pages and nested pages to create hierarchical Markdown headers.
Add compile metadata (title, author) when missing
When a Scrivener project has no metadata document or existing MultiMarkdown header, prepend Title and Author from the project’s compile settings (Settings/compile.xml).
Open .scriv files in Scrivener when opened in Marked
When a Scrivener document is opened in Marked, automatically open it in Scrivener as well.

Word

Convert change tracking <-> CriticMarkup
If enabled, change tracking in Word documents will be converted to CriticMarkup when imported, and CriticMarkup will be converted to Word change tracking when exporting DOCX files.

Mind Maps/Outlines

Embed as Mermaid mind maps
Each checkbox controls one included format. When on, the included file is converted to a Mermaid mind map diagram (tidy-tree layout). When off, Marked uses the alternative for that format.
Mind maps — iThoughts X (.itmz), MindManager (.mmap), FreeMind (.mm). If on: Mermaid mind map. If off: iThoughts embeds its preview image; MindManager and FreeMind convert to nested Markdown lists.
OPML files (.opml). If on: Mermaid mind map. If off: nested Markdown list.
OmniOutliner outlines (.ooutline). If on: Mermaid mind map. If off: nested Markdown list (or checklist where applicable).
Bike outlines. If on: Mermaid mind map. If off: nested Markdown list.
