Strict Markdown

typealot's visual editor offers a few conveniences that go beyond standard Markdown — toggle headings, embedded video and audio, and so on. If you need your files to stay portable, standard Markdown, turn on Strict Markdown.

Turning it on

Open File → Options… and enable Restrict to standard markdown. typealot asks you to confirm.

What it does

With Strict Markdown on, the slash menu and toolbar only offer standard Markdown elements. Non-standard items (toggle headings, embedded video/audio/file, image resizing) are hidden.

Your existing files are safe

Turning Strict Markdown on does not change any content already in your files — it only limits what new elements you can insert from that point on.
