Typora 1.8

New

Github Style Alert / Callouts

Alerts are an extension of Markdown used to emphasize critical information.

We now support Github’s way to highlight “Note” and “Warning” using blockquote (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/16925).

To use this, firstly, please enable “Github Style Alert” in preferences panel:

An example of all five types:

> [!NOTE]  
> Highlights information that users should take into account, even when skimming.

> [!TIP]
> Optional information to help a user be more successful.

> [!IMPORTANT]  
> Crucial information necessary for users to succeed.

> [!WARNING]  
> Critical content demanding immediate user attention due to potential risks.

> [!CAUTION]
> Negative potential consequences of an action.

Here is how they are displayed:

Please note that this feature may not be supported in all Markdown specs.

And Github also does not provide any i18n solution for this. One current workaround is to Add Custom CSS. For example, to change the word “Note” to Chinese version “注意”：

.md-alert-text-note .md-alert-text-container:after {
  content: "注意";
}

We will consider the improvement and provide other ways for this in future.

Zoom with Mouse Wheel

Please note that on macOS, we already support the native “Pinch to zoom” feature.

From version 1.8, we added zoom option in preferences panel.

Also, a new option is added, which enables zoom Typora with mouse wheel when command or ctrl key is pressed.

You can enable this when you are in class or making presentation, to quickly zoom in / out with mouse wheel and command / ctrl keys.

MermaidJS with XY Chart

Our mermaid diagram now supports XY Chart, you can find more details here → https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/xyChart.html.

You can now draw charts like this:
