Remarkable is an excellent Markdown editor with a plethora of features. You can use it to work with both the standard and Github-flavored Markdown language. Advanced-level formatting is also possible as the tool comes with spell checking, word count, and MathJax support.
Full-featured, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown, the Markdown library used by Stack Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites. To mitigate the existing limitations due to the lack of specification, projects (especially static site generators) built on top of Markdown introduce new flavors with their own syntax. 2.5 Markdown syntax. The text in an R Markdown document is written with the Markdown syntax. Precisely speaking, it is Pandoc’s Markdown. There are many flavors of Markdown invented by different people, and Pandoc’s flavor is the most comprehensive one to our knowledge. The main reason for this lack of adoption is that people using Markdown haven’t been sitting still for all these years. Because the original Markdown is so limited, every popular tool built on top of Markdown implements what is called a “flavor” of Markdown.

GitHub and other flavors
Advanced markdown extensions are supported to give more features to the syntax. This includes pipe tables, emoji, mathematics and a lot more.
Live Preview Window
The preview window opens up on the right side of the document when it opens.
Every time the markdown document is modified, the preview window will update.
Any code blocks receives full syntax highlighting in the preview window. Here's an example of JavaScript code rendered.
The preview window is automatically scrolled to match the scroll position of the document. As the document is scrolled up and down, the preview window will follow.
Live preview can be disabled in the settings.
The syntax highlighter is powered by Prism
Custom stylesheets
The preview window supports loading of custom stylesheets. It will look for a file called md-styles.css in the same directory as the currently opened markdown file or any parent directory.
If no md-styles.css file is found it will look for it in %userprofile%. If it still isn't found it will use the built in stylesheet.
To generate a custom stylesheet, simply right-click inside the markdown editor document and select Add Custom Stylesheet...
The name of the custom stylesheet can be changed in the settings.

It will even parse the file name and make a friendly name to use for the alt text.
