Changelog
New tools, features, and improvements on MarkdownTools — updated as we ship.
September 2026
- New converter: Text to Markdown — paste plain text and get headings, lists, links and paragraphs, with every rule switchable
- New generator: Markdown definition lists in four formats, with an honest table of where each one renders
- New generator: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and Cursor rules from one form, with presets for common project shapes
- Reddit formatting guide rebuilt: a live Reddit previewer with clickable spoilers, a section per element, and old vs new Reddit differences
- Obsidian callouts guide now renders all 13 types with their default icons and colours, plus a live callout previewer
- Markdown to PDF: drag and drop a .md file, and a command-line section for Pandoc and md-to-pdf
- Workspace documents can start from a template: README, CHANGELOG, ADR, meeting notes, blog post, CLAUDE.md and more
- Editor: Tab and Enter move between table cells and add rows, and :shortcodes complete emoji as you type
- Table generator: Enter, Tab and arrow keys move between cells, with Undo and Redo for transpose, sort, dedupe and clear
- PDF to Markdown: OCR can be cancelled and shows how many pages are left and about how long they will take
- Recently used tools on the homepage and in the command palette, and an Install app option on browsers that support it
- Every page loads 76–153 KB less JavaScript: the tool catalogue stays on the server and syntax highlighting loads languages on demand
