## Sending from Bear

In Bear choose Preview in Marked from the View menu (wording may vary slightly by Bear version). Marked receives a TextBundle, so embedded images and assets generally travel with the text.

Images referenced with absolute paths or `https` URLs also resolve as long as Marked can reach them.

## Mac App Store note

If you use the Mac App Store build of Marked and macOS keeps asking for permission to open directories when previewing from Bear, contact Marked support for a free cross-grade to the direct-download edition, which avoids that particular sandbox friction.

## Tags

Bear-style tags can be rendered as such by turning on #Text is tag and Style tags under Marked Settings, Processor pane.

> This setting can confuse Marked if you write regular headlines without spaces after the `#`.

## Filenames and export

If you turn on Use first H1 as fallback title in Marked Settings, Export pane, that title can drive the filename and the `%title` placeholder when you print or export PDFs from Marked.

> A preview style that approximates Bear's own look is available on markedapp.com/styles.

Streaming preview from Bear is summarized on the Streaming Preview page and in Additional app integrations.
