I wrote back in November that Marked had an incompatibility with Big Sur that was causing the PDFs it generated to come out as raster images, rather than as vector-based text that would be scalable and selectable. I’m happy to report that Apple has fixed this issue on their end and it’s now 100% safe to use Marked 2 on Big Sur.

I’m usually a good sport about macOS updates. I find stuff to like, and deal with the bugs as they get worked out. I’m not feeling as generous about Big Sur. Among many annoyances I have is a relatively (well, very) small one: Apple hid the proxy icon behind a rollover with a delay in Finder.

Ok, so here’s the deal. Marked works on Big Sur. If you’re using it for previewing your Markdown or exporting HTML, it should continue to work perfectly for you. But if you, like a majority of my customers, use Marked to output great-looking PDFs, you’re going to run into some trouble that will take me a while to sort out.
