This seems like an intrinsic part of the nature of Markdown editors. Typora lets you input in Markdown, but seems to immediately hide Markdown markup in favor of a WYSIWYG-like view, making it arguably not a Markdown editor at all.

For most people, and I think I include myself in this group, the point of Markdown is that the raw source is readable even without being rendered.



Arguably, tables or pictures are not readable in raw Markdown. While Markdown is already readable, such rendering makes it much more readable.


True. At the cost of hiding the Markdown source.
