Macchiato is a simple plain text editor with a twist. Modeled after TextEdit's plain text mode, the editor is a chromeless blank canvas. However, it is built from the ground up for writing Markdown prose—and, as such, it will format Markdown text as you write it. Macchiato will not *parse* your Markdown. Rather, it will *stylize* your Markdown source.
