Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for adding formatting elements to plain text. JetBrains Fleet recognizes Markdown files, provides a dedicated editor with highlighting, completion, and formatting, and shows the rendered HTML in a live preview pane. Support is based on the CommonMark specification with an additional support for the most part of the GitHub Flavored Markdown dialect.
Enabling Markdown preview
In the Files panel, double-click the Markdown file to open it in the editor.
Click the preview icon located in the upper-right corner of the editor. Alternatively, press ⌥ ⌘ P.
(Optional) Select the preview mode that you find most convenient.
Selecting preview mode
You have the option to choose from the following preview modes:
Split Preview Right: displays the file preview on the right side of the editor.
Full-Screen Preview: expands the file preview to cover the entire editor, similar to an open file, providing an unobstructed view of the document.
Split Preview Down: positions the file preview directly below the currently open file.
