`swift-markdown-engine` Open-Sourced for Native macOS Markdown Editing

A TextKit 2 Markdown editor engine is now reusable instead of buried inside one app. Useful if you need native editing; irrelevant for web-first products.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Built on AppKit and TextKit 2, then bridged to SwiftUI — avoids the usual WebView Markdown editor compromise.
  2. Covers live styling, GFM tables, task checkboxes, wiki links, image embeds, LaTeX, and syntax-highlighted code blocks.
  3. Spelling and grammar skip code, LaTeX, and wiki-link tokens. That detail saves polish work in note-taking or writing apps.
  4. The author calls TextKit 2 migration rough and under-documented. Reusing the engine beats losing weekends on editor edge cases.
