PageMaker Markdown Solution BBEdit
PageMaker Markdown Solution BBEdit and Mars Edit made this work like a charm, but first I had to go through several attempts to make it work on PageMaker. Finally, I tried making edits to an existing post in WordPress (using my favorite WordPress Tool: Mars Edit). The key was to “edit” the post inside of Mars Edit using BBEdit. Here’s the result on the PageMaker site:
About Us Page on PageMaker Issues
Creating a webpage using Pagemaker.io involves using various features and modules that the platform provides.
In this About Us Page, I wanted to create a template using MarkDown. So, let’s see what it looks like CLICK HERE to see the live page now.
Adding Images using Markdown
One of my favorite tools on my MacBook is Typora, because it makes it super easy to include any image in my posts and pages.
This works in most apps on my MacBook,
including MARS Edit on Mac.
I grabbed this Typora Logo from the web,
downloaded it to my Mac,
and then I dropped the image here.
Now I’m going to copy all and paste all of this into PageMaker.io using the code block and see if that makes a page that looks like what I’m seeing here in Typora as I create this document.

So, when I copied the html code and inserted it into PageMaker, this is what I got, It did give me some formatting and it did include the image but I don’t see the H2 headers. Now I’ll try MarkDown code.

Trying to find a comprehensive step-by-step guide to creating a webpage from scratch with Pagemaker.io? Here’s a few pieces of information that might help you get started on their platform:
-
To add “sticky” elements to your page, such as a sticky header or footer, you can add specific CSS classes to your modules. The classes “sticky top-0” and “sticky bottom-0” will stick a module to the top or bottom of the page, respectively. To do this, you should:
-
Open your “lawyer’s drawer” (this is likely a sidebar or settings panel in the Pagemaker.io interface).
-
Select the module you want to make sticky.
-
Select the MODULE layer.
-
Under attributes, paste the code into CSS classes【15†source】.
-
-
To add a text marquee to your page, you’ll need to paste the provided CSS code into your CSS widget in your Pagemaker settings, and then select the text module of the section you’re adding the text marquee to. Then, add the CSS class “text-marqee” under your Attributes -> CSS Classes【39†source】.
I recommend that you visit the official Pagemaker.io website and its learning portal for more tutorials and guides. Also, consider exploring the platform on your own to get a feel for its interface and capabilities.
