The challenge is to get them to successfully preview local images referenced by 1 Writer files where the image file is stored in the same place as the markdown file (for which I’m assuming is using the default 1 Writer directory in iCloud drive).ġ Writer does use the standard Markdown syntax to reference these files, for example… !(Test.png) If you do this then the images from the 1 Writer file display correctly in the iA Writer preview.Īppreciate you may prefer a different tool for other reasons, but just wanted to make sure you weren’t rejecting iA Writer for lacking something that it can actually do.Īll the apps mentioned in this thread are very capable Markdown editors/viewers. The easiest way I found to do this is to get the iA Writer and Finder windows up side by side and drag the 1 Writer folder from the Finder into the “Locations” section of the sidebar in iA Writer (it doesn’t actually move the folder just creates a reference to it in the iA Writer library). Folders can be added to the Library in Preferences on Mac. This gives iA Writer permission to use the file. When using local images, they must be in a folder added as a Library location. I found the following in the iA Writer documentation… If you try it with a web link for the image rather than a local file then that should work anywhere. I think what you’re seeing is a file path/permissions issue rather than a syntax problem as all the apps mentioned support the standard Markdown image syntax. Got you and I can reproduce the same behaviour.

Interestingly it works correctly in Typora. The img file itself sits in the same root folder as the note. I’m guessing the img syntax is different. HI Roger, I tried opening a note created with 1Writer in iA Writer but it doesn’t preview the image correctly (same result previewing in Marked 2).
