Unsuprisingly, someone figured it out already. You can type a note using Markdown formatting, and preview the note as you go by hitting a key combination to open a preview window. However, I'm already using nvALT for my own personal notes, it doesn't natively support multiple setups of documentation, and I don't want to forgo all my documentation just for our work wiki. I would also mention nvALT has a similar philosophy in terms of file format and supports Markdown. Markdown support was one of the features that the developers of nvALT added, that differentiates the app from Notational Velocity. With Markdown previews and Marked.app support, it turns out to be a remarkably useful tool for indexing lots of Markdown files.

For personal documentation (meeting notes, software build instructions, etc.), I currently use the fantastic tool nvALT, which let's you very quickly search your notes and assuming you don't find what you were searching for, create new ones.

For example, to create a header you use hashtags. Privacy focused Joplin is considered a privacy friendly alternative.

Normally one would not use nvAlt in full screen with large preview. nValt, a fork of Notational velocity has this pretty neat feature, where if i have bulleted. While nvAlt can handle basic tables, it fails on sophisticated tables in the same way as Marked 2. End-to-End Encryption Joplin has E2E Encryption, for entire or parts of the app. While I wouldn’t compose long Markdown documents in nvAlt as a first choice, it’s great to have a notetaking application which can handle Markdown with preview. Cloud Sync Sync your data (notes, documents, bookmarks, etc.) across your different devices and to the cloud. Using grep to search for content (especially for common terms) is completely ineffective. To format text, Markdown uses punctuation and characters youre already familiar with. Support for MarkDown Joplin supports MarkDown for document formatting. The repo is a collection of text and Markdown files. The only downside was searching for content. Lastly, and probably my favorite, was that our wiki is now a git repo, which means I can have a local copy with all the power of git. Secondly, we can leave behind the MoinMoin syntax and use Markdown (hurray!). The first advantage is, rather than hosting our own wiki, we get to leverage a cloud-based wiki along side of our GitHub-based project repos (some of which are mostly documentation). This can be very useful for writing articles and blog posts, or anything else to be published on the web. There were a few reasons but we had some distinct advantages in making the transition. Write Markdown with instant preview and HTML export (nvALT only) NV can turn your note into a nicely-formatted HTML page, using layout hints in the popular Markdown format. We converted from MoinMoin to using GitHub's project wiki for internal documentation.
