What’s new in version 2.11.0

New:
  • Illusion Format: This feature for the main editor can be activated in the MarkMyWords preferences under Editor > Highlight. This feature causes the most important and most frequently used markups to be displayed directly in the editor. This feature is available for all markup languages except HTML. Comprehensive information on this feature can be found in the MarkMyWords help.
  • Syntax highlighting: Syntax highlighting has been completely reworked and replaces the old system. In addition to improved and extended recognition of markups, the new highlighting also works better with the set editor options so that the layout no longer gets out of shape.
Bug fixes:
  • Fixes a potential crash of the app when running MultiMarkdown if certain conditions are met
  • Fixes a bug that caused MarkMyWords to crash when certain preference combinations related to line numbering were used
  • Addresses a display error in the editor in newer macOS versions that causes “ghost text” to appear at the bottom under certain conditions

This is designed for web authoring but I use a lot for rough drafts of structured text which I can do really quickly with Markdown. Better than some other similar apps because you can see what happening to the structure almost in real time. You can use Textile if you prefer. It all just works. I think it will be great for blogging, I just haven't got around to that using MMW yet.
