ReadMD activates semantic pagination when a document exceeds roughly 8,000 lines or 500 KB. The outline, full-text search, formulas, and page controls remain linked, so readers can move through very large notes without waiting for the whole file to render at once.
No. ReadMD applies syntax recovery only to the in-memory display layer. Missing table separator rows, unclosed markers, and formula formatting issues are corrected visually, while the original Markdown bytes remain exactly as stored until you explicitly save an edit.
For technical talks and course material, ReadMD presents the same Markdown used for writing and review. Reveal-based presentation mode preserves headings, math, diagrams, and code, so a last-minute edit does not require copying content into a separate deck.
ReadMD v2.3.9 is the current stable release for Windows 10/11, macOS 13+, and Linux x86_64/ARM64. Packages for domestic systems such as UOS, Kylin, and Deepin remain pending native evidence and are not formal support commitments. A VSCode extension and MCP server connect the same workflows to editors and AI tools.
Core reading, editing, pagination, OCR, and file conversion are designed to run locally. Documents do not need a cloud account. Optional web fetching and sharing are explicit actions; LAN sharing is intended for devices on the same network.
ReadMD is released under the MIT license. Source code, release downloads, checksum lists, and platform-specific packages are published in the public GitHub repository at Natsummerance/readMD.
