Export & Copy
Six ways to get your Markdown out of SoloMD.
Export menu (toolbar → Export)
| Format | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HTML | Publishing, archives | Single-file HTML with inlined CSS. KaTeX + Mermaid render via CDN or bundled. |
| Sharing, printing | Generated with html2pdf.js, no external dependency. | |
| PDF (Print) | System print dialog | Uses WebviewWindow::print(). Choose a printer or "Save as PDF". |
| DOCX | Word / Office sharing | True .docx, not HTML-in-Word. Tables, headings, math, code preserved. |
| Image (PNG) | Social, screenshots | Full rendered preview captured as a single PNG. |
Copy to clipboard (toolbar → Copy split-button)
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Rich HTML (default) | Paste into WeChat 公众号 / Notion / Confluence / Slack — keeps styling. |
| Markdown | Paste into another Markdown editor, GitHub issue, Discord. |
| Plain text | Strip all formatting — just the prose. |
| Image | Quick visual share to Twitter / 微博. |
Print (Ctrl/⌘ + P)
Opens the native system print dialog. On macOS uses NSPrintOperation;
on Windows uses the WebView2 print controller; on Linux uses WebKitGTK's print.
The content sent to the printer is a clean render of your Markdown — no toolbar,
no sidebar, just the document.
Tip: from the print dialog, choose "Save as PDF" for a system-quality PDF (often better layout than the built-in PDF exporter).
Image paste & embedding
When you paste or drag an image into SoloMD, it's saved to a
_assets/ folder next to your document (if the file is saved)
and a relative Markdown image link is inserted:
Works with copy-from-browser, screenshots from Snipping Tool / ⌘⇧4, and drag from Finder / Explorer.
CJK and encoding
SoloMD auto-detects UTF-8, GBK, Big5, Shift-JIS, EUC-KR, and a few others when reading files. It saves in the source file's encoding by default (set per-tab in the status bar), so you don't accidentally convert legacy files to UTF-8.
