I think so.

Markdown is a convention for creating formatted text from plain text documents. It’s meant to be easy to read, and easy to write, in plain text, without any rich text formatting at all.

It supports some basic formatting you may be familiar with from other word processors, like bold text, italic, headings with different levels, nested lists, links, etc. Color is generally not on this list (with some caveats).

In general, this formatting takes place when your written document is converted to HTML (or PDF or what have you).

Some versions of markdown support additional features, like code blocks, tables, footnotes, checklists, definition lists, superscript/subscript etc.

Deepdwn is a markdown editor. It supports a fairly broad set of markdown and markdown extensions.

There are a lot of places where text will be displayed in a different color in Deepdwn in the editor: Headings are displayed in your selected accent color, code blocks use different colors to highlight elements based on code syntax, nested lists use different colors for indentation level, links use a separate color for the text and URL components.

This is what you’re seeing in the demo document in general: color being used to accent or highlight the differences between markdown elements for readability, rather than color being added for its own sake.

I hope that helps!

In the preview window, or when exporting to PDF, most of these colors will not appear in the output document.
