Testing Joplin 3.4

I just read in a list of links from Manual do Usuário that Joplin 3.4 was released. The feature that got me most excited is having more Markdown Editor settings, both in Desktop and Mobile, which add three features:

1. Markdown editor: Render markup in editor: Renders markup on all lines that don’t include the cursor.
2. Markdown editor: Render images: If an image attachment is on its own line and followed by a blank line, it will be rendered just below its Markdown source.
3. Markdown editor: Highlight active line

I previously had added them with plugins, like Extended Markdown editor settings or Rich Markdown, and now I’ve disabled them to try to see if these native functionalities are enough.

This might sound like a minor change, but I think they significantly improve the viewing and editing experience, making it less intimidating for non-technical users. If you’ve heard about Obsidian and want to try an open-source alternative, now it’s a good time to try Joplin.
