# Markdown Viewer

> Open, read, and edit Markdown files with live rendering.

**Markdown Viewer** opens `.md` files with Dax's own Markdown parser and
renderer — tables, nested lists, task lists, block quotes, footnotes, and
fenced code all come out the way the document says. You can edit and save
in the same window.

## Open it

Press <kbd>⌃</kbd> <kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>R</kbd> from any app.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a file">
    Choose a `.md` file from the file picker, or open one from Finder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read it">
    The document is rendered with full Markdown support: headings, lists,
    tables, code blocks (syntax-highlighted), images, video, block quotes,
    footnotes, and task lists.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit it">
    Change the document and save. The viewer is a workspace, not a
    read-only preview.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Quick Look

Dax ships a Quick Look extension. Press **Space** on any `.md` file in
Finder and you get the same rendered view — the Finder preview and the
Dax viewer use the identical renderer, so they can't drift apart.

## Privacy

Everything runs on your Mac. No file content leaves the device.
