What is it?

Milkdown is a WYSIWYG markdown editor framework written in TypeScript. Users edit rich text directly while the underlying content stays as markdown, a workflow inspired by Typora. It is built on ProseMirror for the editing engine and remark for markdown parsing.

The editor is organized around plugins. Core behavior, syntax support, and UI features are added as separate packages, so developers can assemble an editor with only the capabilities they need, or write their own plugins to extend it. The project is distributed on npm under the @milkdown scope.

The project provides documentation on its official website, and it is released under the MIT license.
