MarkTreeDoc Pro: Engineered for Commercial Excellence & Academic Rigor
Building upon the solid foundation of the base plugin, Pro unlocks 8 commercial-grade extensions:
- 1. Dual Frameless Minimalist Themes: Minimal Light and Minimal Dark themes strip away distracting borders and UI noise, delivering an immersive reading experience comparable to top-tier static doc sites.
- 2. Native Mermaid Diagram Rendering: Write
```mermaiddirectly inside Markdown code blocks to render crisp vector flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and architecture state machines with zero external plugin dependencies. - 3. High-Precision LaTeX Math Typesetting: Full support for inline
$...$and display$$...$$equations, providing publication-grade typesetting for algorithms, physics, and mathematical wikis. - 4. Doc Link Hover Preview Modal: Hovering over internal document cross-references instantly triggers a modal previewing the target chapter and summary, keeping your reading momentum uninterrupted.
- 5. Notion-Style Floating Bar TOC: A sleek horizontal bar outline floating discreetly in the top-right corner, expanding on hover for instant chapter jumping without blocking document content.
- 6. Recursive Book Markdown Hierarchy Flattening & Export: Automatically demotes sub-article heading levels (H1->H2->H3) according to sidebar tree depth, merging the entire documentation set into a single downloadable eBook Markdown file.
- 7. Line-Aligned Private Memo Notes: Switch the right sidebar into an annotations stream, aligning notes precisely with paragraph anchors—ideal for key tips, author memos, and internal peer reviews.
- 8. Collapsible Section Headings & Sticky Reading Indicator: Expand or collapse sections independently; while scrolling long technical guides, the active section heading sticks to the top (Sticky Headings) for effortless progress tracking.

Q: Does the Free Edition have any time or trial expiration?
None at all! The Free Edition is permanently free and open-source, requiring no license key to enjoy the complete workbench and classic themes.
Q: Is there any feature difference between the $4.99 Personal and $19.99 Developer plan?
None whatsoever! Both editions include 100% full access to all 8 Pro features and future updates. The only difference is site quota: Personal is licensed for 1 active site, while Developer grants unlimited site activations plus commercial client handover rights.
Q: How do I migrate my license when changing domains or moving servers?
Simply clear the License Key in your old site’s admin panel or unlink the domain in your account dashboard, then re-enter the key on your new site.
Q: Does rendering Mermaid or LaTeX impact front-end loading speeds?
Not at all. MarkTreeDoc utilizes an on-demand dynamic loading architecture. Heavy rendering libraries are only loaded when Mermaid or LaTeX code syntax is detected in the article. Plain documentation pages enjoy zero overhead.
