MarkdownPad
A full-featured Markdown editor for Windows.
MarkdownPad is a Markdown editor for Windows that shows an HTML preview as you type, so you can see the rendered result of your document while editing. It applies formatting through keyboard shortcuts and toolbar buttons, and lets you customize color schemes, fonts, sizes and layouts, including your own CSS stylesheets via a built-in CSS editor. Documents can be exported to HTML or PDF, or copied as HTML.
The Pro edition adds multiple Markdown processing engines, including Markdown Extra with table support and GitHub Flavored Markdown, along with tabbed documents, a built-in image uploader, spell check, auto-save and syntax highlighting. MarkdownPad is built for Windows using .NET 4 and Windows Presentation Foundation 4. A free version is available for download, while Pro is a separate edition licensed for commercial use; the pages do not state pricing or trial terms.
