## What it is
A lightweight, pluggable Markdown editor React component with editor/preview panes, synced scrolling, image upload, and custom parser support (e.g., markdown-it). Written in TypeScript and distributed via npm.

## Use cases
- add a markdown editor to a react app
- markdown editor with live html preview
- let users write and preview markdown in a form
- support image upload and drag-drop in a markdown editor
- customize markdown parsing in an editor component
- show only the editor pane or only the preview pane
- use a markdown editor in next.js with client-side rendering

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight react markdown editor component
- you want pluggable toolbar buttons and configurable UI
- you need synced scrolling between editing and preview
- you want to plug in your own markdown parser like markdown-it

## When to avoid
- you are not using react
- you need a full wysiwyg rich-text editor rather than markdown source editing
- you need a standalone desktop or cli markdown editor

- artifact type: library
