If you're a web designer who is continuously looking for solutions to speed up and simplify work, you might be interested in MarkPad, a straightforward Markdown editor wrapped in a user-friendly interface.

Markdown is a popular syntax that can be used for formatting plain text in order to effortlessly publish it on blogs or write comments, to name a couple of examples.

Available for download from the Microsoft Store, MarkPad is only compatible with newer Windows editions which support the so-called Metro apps, starting with Windows 8.

After the tool gets integrated with your operating system, it shows a help manual at startup to demonstrate how the Markdown syntax works. Some examples are also included.

For instance, it's possible to emphasize text with bold or italic effects, make block quotes, create ordered, unordered or nested lists, insert programming code, as well as set headers. More information can be examined on a website whose link is provided by the developer.

The editor is split into two important parts: for writing text and for viewing the design, thanks to the fact that MarkPad translates the syntax in real time (as you type). This way, you can easily check out any mistakes and fix them right away.

Also, if you forget how to emphasize text with bold or italic effects, or how to create hyperlinks, you can open the "App Commands" menu and click on buttons to add the syntax automatically.

Once you feel more confident about your Markdown syntax knowledge, you can remove the design panel and keep only the editing area to create a distraction-free zone (as well as to practice the syntax without taking a look at the design).

Tabbed support is available, which means that you can keep multiple documents opened at the same time and navigate them with ease. In fact, the Help.md file remains opened by default after you start creating a new document.

A bullet next to the document name indicates that the current work is unsaved. Markdown files can be saved with the .md, .mdown, .markdown or .mkd format. As far as additional settings are concerned, you can customize the editor font and font size.

All aspects considered, MarkPad provides a simple and sophisticated interface as well as intuitive options to help you write Markdown text. It can be easily used by anyone, not only web designers.
