To write comments a free GitHub account is required, the place where many Open Source software projects (like Markor) are developed.
Please don't send e-mails to developers, do ask & search here instead so everybody can benefit from your matter and it's answer/solution, as well other people might have a better answer.
- General project information and changes What is the project about and what is it's history?
- Updates F-Droid is the recommended way to install and updated Markor. Unreleased changes can be tried in the development version called Mordor. It can be installed beside Markor and downloaded from here (click on any change and find the android-apk button there)

Still waiting for it to appear on F-Droid... The APK above doesn't install when I have the F-Droid version installed.
Please wait one or other day more so the update is available there. The releases on GitHub are codesigned with my official Markor sigining key. F-Droid uses a different secret where nobody else has access to. You can uninstall F-Droid Markor and install my version to switch.
Hi everybody. I am currently feeling not so well, and don't do much development currently. Still I do maintaining which is doable on phone too. I appreciate any help in all kind of contributions, most importantly I would need some help in development (were it's more like a one-man-show currently).
There are a lot of tasks open, also too much things that can be done by beginners (e.g. hardware keyboard shortcuts). The really most important thing is support for content:// URIs and providers. I would appreciate help in this task very much (#126). The second most important would be to replace the filelist library with something more current, any help here very appreciated too (#115).
See good first issue (very suiteable for first time contributors too! 😃) and help wanted issues.
I'm not an Android developer, sorry :s
I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, but I sincerely wish you "Bon courage" !

Thanks to everybody translating Markor, latest translations included (and some more new strings are available now). Sadly still not a single community code contribution to the project since mid november, the project could really need some move love by other people than me.
hey everybody. Currently the low minSdk version is hindering some future development. I really need some feedback which can drive future project targets.
About Software:
- Which Android version? (e.g. 4.4 KitKat)
- Which OS? (e.g. LineageOS, AOKP, Samsungish, Pixelish, AOSP)
About Hardware:
- Screen size (as in inches physically)
- Screen size (pixels, 1080x1920 etc)
- Hardware keyboard available? (tablet keyboard, nokia-sliding-keyboard etc)
About app:
- Any feedback. About anything, if not reported already. Keep in mind Markor=texteditor, not cloud doc suite :=)
- do you mostly start with title, or immediately with content?
- the whole auto-title stuff is quite hacky
- planning to make filenaming controllable from Notebook, and to keep this whole there
- means removing document title from Document-Editing
- and means more space for actions and buttons ;)
- !and more clean code!
- how often do you use Undo/Redo
- and how much do you go back?
- this all is quite memory consuming. the lower the default history-amount is, the better the app works on low/mid devices
- Recent I introduced a different markdown parser/converter
- With maybe more futures. But not so fast, more memory and cpu consuming
- do you feel like more stuff you need is available now?
- or was the previous one very enough?
- What about default font
- Usually serif fonts mean faster reading and better readability
- try
Document Font->Noto Serifand restart the app - how do you like that? I'm feeling like this suits better than Roboto-Sans for reading/writing documents
In general too, I would appreciate code contributions and PRs very much too. Still working 99% alone on the code part ;). I have started to write some important things up over at my blog, regarding getting started in contributing :).
Thanks everybody for helping. Too thanks for the many translations in the last days, keep going! :+1:
Hi, I'm using your application every day and these are my answers to your questions:
Which Android version?
Android 7.1.2.
Which OS?
LineageOS.
Screen size (as in inches physically)
4.5 inches.
Screen size (pixels, 1080x1920 etc)
540 x 960 pixels
Hardware keyboard available?
No.
do you mostly start with title, or immediately with content?
I think that the default title looks ugly. It is only an useless number for a human. It could be more useful a customizable pattern (for example today's date).
how often do you use Undo/Redo
Thanks anyway for all work that you do Thanks anyway for all work that you do Never. I you want to decrease memory consumption just save a certain amount of edits, maybe a custom value.
Recent I introduced a different markdown parser/converter
I don't use a render, because I prefer to edit and view notes in the textual form.
What about default font
I like it.
Thanks anyway for all work that you have done, when I'll become more fluently with Java I promise to help you!
About Software: Android version: 1.7.2. OS? LineageOS.

Hey everybody!
Markor v1.2 released
- Blog post https://gsantner.net/blog/android/2018/09/18/markor-release-v1.2.html
- Available on gplay already, or apk here https://github.com/gsantner/markor/releases/tag/v1.2.0
Just placing an idea here: It would be really cool if you added support for Google Fonts, which would allow the user to use any of their massive range of fonts. I'm not sure if you have to pay for it (probably, it's Google) but it looks interesting.
Here's a link to their REST API
@def0x099
You can do this using the Inject -> Head option, by adding the including and setting the font to *.
No, this for sure won't get added to Markor. As noted, it must work fully offline and I don't really want to add something that doesn't work offline ;) .
p.s You can make an easy $20 by implementing this feature, and then filing a Pull Request.
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/63545644-markdown-table-editing-popup (#338)
Feature request: ability to put a note in the notification bar like this app https://github.com/BijoySingh/Scarlet-Notes
@jamesnsecond: see https://github.com/gsantner/markor/issues/157 (comment edit by gsantner)
Hello Markor users!
I want to know from you regarding sorting at the filemanager (kind of survey):
Do you like it that documents are always sorted above other files (like videos, binary files, pdfs etc), or do you prefer that all files are sorted independent if they are a document or not?
Currently it's the second one (so you will first see sorted group of folders (depends on settings), then sorted group of documents and then a sorted group of other files.
Please give a GitHub reaction on this comment, using a :+1: or a :-1: . I'm aware of cons and pros, please no comment, just thumbs up or down on this comment, thanks! I want to wait with any changes till I see a counter of >=10.
- :+1: - Have documents sorted as a separate group to "other files" group
- :-1: - Have all files sorted in one and the same group
Just cleaned this community thread, combined some questions / answers and surveys. Also deleted older update announcements.
Hi @gsantner I want to contribute to general visual design of the app. I can help with a lot of typography/iconography/visual design aspects. Let me know if you are planning on any design refreshes?
@heysupratim Basically I did a nearly complete overhaul at v1.0 and v2.0. Honestly speaking - don't want to make drastic changes, rather improve where needed.
I'm open for discussion - either make an separate issue for discussion OR contact me private (see https://gsantner.net)
@heysupratim Mock up something so we know where you see improvements :)
Is is possible to rearrange and or disable (some of) the buttons in the toolbar? If so, I think this would be a great feature...
I was thinking of opening one or more feature requests regarding todo.txt. I'm not sure how many issues it should be, or what exact behavior most users want, so I thought I'd ask here first.
The idea is to let the user control the project & context menus. Right now, they contain projects and contexts in the file being viewed, plus hard-coded defaults. I would like them to contain entries in the file being viewed, plus entries I configure, and no hard-coded defaults; likewise for contexts.
I could imagine implementing this by looking for a .todo.projects.txt and .todo.contexts.txt (or similar) in the same folder as the todo.txt file(s). These files could be created containing the existing defaults when Markor creates a todo.txt in that folder, and the first time someone changes the format of a file in that folder to todo.txt. Potentially one could search up the directory tree for such a file at a higher level (could be a separate feature request). Or, a picky/advanced user could create them manually based on some documentation, and Markor could use the current behavior when they don't exist.
Personally, I like the automatic creation idea best because it makes it obvious what to change if you are a Unix user, it gives new users a set of defaults to help them try out todo.txt, and it seems easily localized. I like putting this configuration in the filesystem instead of a settings pane because it lets one have a different set of projects & contexts in different directories, which is perfect for people with separate lists for home & work.
As a fallback, it would be an improvement (in my opinion, not sure about others) if it were just projects from the current file, without the hard-coded defaults (could be a separate feature request). But, I think that means that new users would have no example projects & contexts.
I don't have an Android development environment right now, but I need to set one up anyway. Looking at the code, I think this is a simple enough change that I could implement it if there is an option other people like. Obligatory warning: My development & response time in general tends to be very bursty.
So. Does one or more of these sound good? How many/which feature requests should I open? It seems appropriate to move further discussion about how it should work to specific issue(s).
I suggest to keep it as simple as possible, for dev and for user.
This would be to have a setting option like default tags and default cats which have a comma sep list of entries.
In case of tags, music,video can be set as original default value.
I do not suggest an own file for this.
Hi.
I updated Markor on my mobile to v.2.2.5. I noticed that I cannot disable text actions bar, because this settings has been removed with 37a9c13. Why this option has been removed?
Is Markor editor compatible with Editorconfig ( https://editorconfig.org/ ) ??
If not, can I add a feature request?
@codingepaduli No. You can but I have strong doubts somebody will implement it.
Can we set textaction bar in two line?
How about add support to mermaid and graohviz
Can we set textaction bar in two line?
No and this wont ever happen. Vertical space is limited and most important.

There are tasks open, you can start implementing it.

I know you means what.But when we only need to write current line, say it so called focus mode, the vertical space is not so important, so if we can give a setting option to control this?
And for programm users, the most used textactions may be are : heading, code, list, bold, or we alternatively give a method to set the textactions order?
