# Qt widget QMarkdownTextEdit now a separate project for developer's pleasure

<v-subheader class="blog">Date: 2016-01-13</v-subheader>

For the pleasure of you developers I extracted the markdown widget functionality out of QOwnNotes and made it a separate Qt widget.

It's name is **QMarkdownTextEdit** and you'll find it on **[QMarkdownTextEdit on GitHub](https://github.com/pbek/qmarkdowntextedit/)**.
