Marked 2Mar 25
Final version of the Marked 3 beta submitted for review as public release. Working on getting the Paddle version out of Sandbox. Setapp version of 3.0 might be available before the other platforms, as that pipeline is already established. But on the verge of release!

Any combination of two of the below work great together. All three do not:

* Drafts
* iOS 26.4 beta
* The "Reduce Transparency" accessibility feature

If you use Drafts and Reduce Transparency, maybe hold off on the iOS beta, or you will get blank text in the editor.

If you have installed the iOS beta, turn off Reduce Transparency to workaround.

It looks like these effects finally count as motion in iOS 26.4 beta 2. Enabling Reduced Motion now takes away the toggle button glass animation and greatly reduces the effect in bottom tab bars. https://mastodon.social/@somelinguist/116087481277192592

@jessegrosjean They finally fixed the transparency in the Settings app sidebar n 26.4 beta 2. It could still be better, but now it’s legible at least!

I’m still unsure how the animation on toggle buttons doesn’t count as either transparency or motion. The same as with the animation on the tab bars. https://mastodon.social/@somelinguist/115742275568542929

Lately on the blog: Pandoc-style filters for Apex

Pandoc-style filters for Apex - BrettTerpstra.com

In my quest to make Apex as complete as possible before I integrate it into Marked, I’ve added Pandoc-compatible filters, which can be written in Lua for native execution, or in any language…

@somelinguist My work this morning might be of interest (inspired by you) https://github.com/ApexMarkdown/apex/wiki/Filters

Ideally it works with existing Pandoc Lua filters, and also incorporates Pandoc's JSON filtering. I'm definitely not trying to entirely replace Pandoc, but I want Apex to be a viable solution from within Marked that greatly reduces the need to run Pandoc as an external process.

@ttscoff @nholzschuch @marked Not that you need more features. :) But I thought I’d mention it.

Since it’s GPL2, it probably would need to be downloaded by the user, but WASM should get around the sandbox-restrictions, right?

@ttscoff Yesterday, Pandoc added support for compiling to WASM. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time with the hopes of somehow it could be wrapped for use in a-Shell by @nholzschuch to finally have Pandoc on the iPad. It looks like it still might be complicated.

This morning while I was looking at it, I wondered if the WASM version might be away to have Pandoc work in the App Store version of @marked 3.

It allows to run any kind of document conversion that pandoc supports in the browser. The documents never leave the computer, thus ensuring *full privacy*.
