[toc]{level: [2]}

Highlights

Easy to use: Use Monaco kernel, optimize for Markdown editing, and have the same editing experience as VSCode.
Powerful: Support version control; Applets, runnable code blocks, tables, Plantuml, Drawio, macro replacements, etc., can be embedded in the document.
High compatibility: Data is saved as local Markdown files, and the extension functions are implemented in the original syntax of Markdown as far as possible.
Plug-in extension: Support users to write their own plug-ins to expand the functionality of the editor.
Encryption supported: Use encryption to save private files such as account number, and the password can be set separately for each file.

Attention

For more extendable, Yank Note sacrifices security protection (command execution, arbitrary file reading and writing). If you want to use it to open a foreign Markdown file, ⚠️be sure to carefully identify whether the content of the file is trustworthy⚠️.
The encryption and decryption of encrypted files are both completed at the front end. Please be sure to remember your password. Once the password is lost, it can only be cracked violently.
