What is Md?
md (also known as doocs/md) is a highly minimalist WeChat Markdown editor that automatically renders Markdown documents into WeChat articles in real-time. It is designed for WeChat official account operators, content creators, and technical writers who need to format articles for WeChat without dealing with complex typography adjustments. The tool supports all basic Markdown syntax including titles, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, quotes, code blocks, and mathematical formulas.
Key features include support for Mermaid chart rendering, GFM warning blocks, PlantUML rendering, and ruby annotation extensions. The editor provides rich code block syntax highlighting themes, customizable theme colors and CSS styles, multi-image upload with configurable image hosting (GitHub, Aliyun OSS, Tencent COS, Qiniu, MinIO, and more), file import/export capabilities, local content management with auto-save drafts, and integrated AI assistant support for major models like DeepSeek, OpenAI, Tongyi Qianwen, Tencent Hunyuan, and Volcano Ark.
The tool is ideal for anyone creating content for WeChat official accounts, technical bloggers who write in Markdown, and teams needing a clean, elegant editing experience without the clutter of traditional WeChat editors. It can be used via the online editor at md.doocs.org or self-hosted locally using Docker or npm CLI for private deployment.
