Print a Markdown file
Last updated June 2026
To print a Markdown file in Unmarked, press ⌘P. The print dialog opens, you choose a printer, and you print. Print runs through the same renderer as PDF export, so the page that comes out matches what's on screen.
Printing Markdown usually means converting it to something else first, then printing that. Unmarked skips the middle step. The rendered document is already what prints.
Print a file
- Open the file in Unmarked.
- Press ⌘P (or pick Print from the File menu).
- Choose your printer and set copies, pages, or paper size in the dialog.
- Click Print.
Headings, lists, tables, blockquotes, fenced code blocks with their language label, and local images all carry over. Print uses Unmarked's fixed export style. It looks the same whatever reading or writing font you've set in Settings.
No printer? Save as PDF
You don't need a printer to use Print. In the print dialog, open the PDF menu in the bottom-left and choose Save as PDF. You get the same paginated document on disk, ready to send or keep.
If you came here just to make a PDF, Export (⇧⌘E) is the more direct path and gives you page size, margins, and header options up front. Print is the one to reach for when you're already heading to paper.
Footnotes and math. Footnotes (
[^1]) and math ($…$) aren't rendered yet, so they print as plain text, the same as they show on screen. Everything else, including tables, task lists, and strikethrough, prints the way you'd expect.
