How can I avoid seeing Markdown even when it's being rendered?

When I move the cursor over the page (using the keyboard), I see the Markdown symbols. Is it possible to prevent this?

And on the other hand, how can I put a page into read-only mode once I'm happy with it?

You cannot, and this is by design. The concept of Live Preview is that you can always see the underlying markdown code, it's not a WYSIWYG editor in that sense. Changing this would require fundamental changes.

There's no real way to do that right now. You can put the entire editor in read-only mode (sometimes useful for mobile devices) with the Editor: Toggle Read Only Mode but you cannot persistently mark a file as read-only.

Ok, thank you very much!!!
