I know it's been long overdue but the Find Dialog in Markdown Monster now properly supports line breaks and other escaped characters when using the RegEx. Thanks to the folks at ACE Editor to addressing this issue after many years, which fixes it it in MM as well.

Added support for standalone Mermaid files (.mmd) to Markdown Monster, to open and render Mermaid diagrams without requiring embedded Markdown syntax. As with Markdown embedded Mermaid diagrams, the preview is live as you make changes. Request came up a few times now...

Markdown Monster 3.9 released. This is a maintenance release. Here's what's new: • Mermaid file (.mmd) Support • Support for Font Litagures • Emoji embedding improvements • Inline Python, C++ and Mermaid Syntax Highlighting • Improved Arm64 installs markdownmonster.west-wind.com
