Hello! Just jumped into Markdown Monster and am unclear on how to install an add-in that is not already listed in the Add-in Manager. The Help Docs are great, but don't seem to cover this (outside of add-in development-related docs), unless I'm missing something. Also not seeing any info in the respective add-in git repo readmes. Would appreciate some tips!

If you have an addin that's not in the registry, you can just copy it into the Addin folder:

  • %localappdata%\Markdown Monster\Addins\<addInName>\

MM will find it there and load it.

Thanks! For some reason, even after a relaunch, Markdown Monster isn't detecting the add-in yet.

Oh and btw if this process is actually documented somewhere that I missed, let me know.

I'm not following what you're trying to do. The Addins folder is for compiled addins not a project.

All the documentation lives here:

The documentation describes how you build your addin and where it needs to compile to in order to test or install it.

The Snippets addin is built-in. You don't need to install anything...

Aha, that would explain it. Thanks. 😄
