Marked QL renders beautiful Markdown previews in macOS Quick Look. Powered by Apex for math, Mermaid, syntax highlighting, and more. $4.99 on the Mac App Store.
Marked 3 - Markdown Preview for Mac
@ttscoff Congrats on the launch of Marked QL, Brett! 🚀 Having native Markdown Quick Look back in macOS with modern rendering is huge.
Quick question on customization: does Marked QL allow using custom CSS/themes for the Quick Look render (like custom syntax highlighting themes or dark/light mode sync), or does it default to standard system styles?

@franz_briones You can add 1 custom theme at a time. It shares some of Marked 3's themes by default.
@rizwan_haider15 per the author...
Marked 3 - Markdown Preview for Mac
@rizwan_haider15 mermaid and syntax highlighting are supported.
Very neat idea! Native previews always feel faster than opening another app.
Curious...does it support large Markdown files without slowing down?
Best of luck with the launch! 🚀

@worksforme It handles pretty large files with lots of mermaid diagrams. I haven't stress tested it with files over 500k, but it should do fine, as Apex is quite fast.
That's nice. Does it handle YAML frontmatter in README files, or does it render those as plain text?

@dhiraj_patel5 Apex handles all kinds of front matter, YAML, MultiMarkdown, Pandoc, etc.
Congrats on the launch! Since Quick Look runs sandboxed, does it resolve relative image paths and links inside the markdown file correctly, or does that break outside of Marked 3's own preview?

@irahimiam image display with relative paths should work, but there are sandboxing limitations when permissions aren't accessible for the directory.
Interesting, but definitely not "$4.99 on the Mac App Store".

@lucashaley Price got changed after launch but I haven't figured out how to update the post here.
