Recently, my wife asked if there was a quick way to format and edit WeChat Official Account articles. My first thought was to use StackEdit to automatically generate a preview. After trying it out, it worked quite well. Here’s a simple guide on how to use it.

Steps

Convert the Article to Markdown Format Using AI

1. After writing the article, ask any AI to reformat it into Markdown.

《Those "Fussy Habits" People Look Down On Are Actually the Cheat Codes for Ordinary People》  
Last week at a fast-food restaurant, I saw a migrant worker carefully tearing fried chicken into small pieces for his daughter and wiping the edges of the tray with a napkin. That scene made me realize: true dignity has nothing to do with your bank balance.  

I. Don’t Let Your Posture Betray You  
My cousin failed a job interview because, as the HR bluntly put it, "He slouched in his chair like overcooked noodles." It reminded him of his father’s lesson: "Kids from poor families must carry themselves with pride!" Later, as a courier, he made sure his uniform was buttoned to the top every day. Within three months, he became the most sought-after courier in his area—clients said his upright posture made him seem reliable.  

II. "Poor Man’s Etiquette" at the Dinner Table  
A friend once went on a blind date with a Ph.D. who could expertly use seven types of cutlery but ignored the server bringing soup. She ended up choosing a schoolteacher who helped the cafeteria staff clear trays. "People who truly know how to eat are always looking for ways to help," she said. It reminded me of a street vendor’s rule: "Cover bones with napkins, line fish bones neatly on the plate." These everyday wisdoms reveal more about manners than wine-tasting classes.  

III. Respect Begets Respect  
A colleague mocked my friend for "sucking up" by bringing leftovers to their boss—until a rainy day when the boss drove her home, saying, "My mom still talks about the lotus root powder you gave her." Like my mom’s rule to "serve tea only two-thirds full," these old-fashioned courtesies paved the way long before "managing up" became a buzzword.  

The mechanic at my neighborhood entrance lives by the motto: "The shabbier the car, the more it needs polishing." His toolbox is always immaculate, with tire patches sorted by size. Twenty years of this "fussiness" earned him three properties. What young people dismiss as "poor man’s habits" are becoming workplace currency.  

Don’t believe the myth that "the poor can’t rise." True nobility isn’t in etiquette classes but in holding the door open three seconds longer. Those outdated rules? They’re life’s cheat codes for ordinary folks—crack them open, and you’ll find the keys to success.  

2. Wait for the AI to output the formatted result.

## I. Don’t Let Your Posture Betray You  
My cousin’s failed interview was eye-opening. The HR’s feedback hit hard: **"He slouched in his chair like overcooked noodles."** It reminded him of his father’s lesson: **"Kids from poor families must carry themselves with pride!"** Later, as a courier, he buttoned his uniform to the top daily. Within three months, he became the area’s most sought-after courier. Clients said, "His upright posture makes him seem reliable."

## II. "Poor Man’s Etiquette" at the Dinner Table  
A friend’s blind date with a Ph.D. who ignored the server contrasted sharply with the schoolteacher who helped clear trays. **"People who truly know how to eat are always looking for ways to help,"** she noted. It echoed a street vendor’s rules: "Cover bones with napkins, line fish bones neatly." These unpolished manners often outshine wine-tasting classes.

## The Shabbier the Car, the More It Needs Polishing  
The neighborhood mechanic’s motto—**"The shabbier the car, the more it needs polishing"**—shows in his spotless toolbox and sorted tire patches. Twenty years of this earned him three properties. What youth dismiss as "poor man’s habits" are now workplace currency.  

My aunt, a caregiver, always carried extra thermos meals for elderly patients, saying **"midnight hunger needs warmth."** Later, their children funded her家政 business—now an eight-chain company.

Select a Theme Template in StackEdit

Open the Chinese StackEdit site , paste the AI-formatted Markdown text into the editor, and the right panel will show a live preview. Click the three dots at the bottom-right to choose a theme.

Copy the Preview to WeChat’s Official Account Editor

Select and copy the preview content from StackEdit’s right panel, then paste it directly into WeChat’s backend editor.

Notes

1. Use Chrome or Edge. Firefox may lose styles when copying.

2. During AI formatting, you can ask it to restructure content or add extra Markdown elements (e.g., code blocks, flowcharts). These formats usually copy correctly to WeChat.

3. To customize StackEdit’s themes, modify the CSS. For simple tweaks, duplicate an existing theme’s CSS, replace selectors like .preview-theme--jikebrack with .preview-theme--custom, and edit. Unsure? Ask an AI to help adjust the CSS.

4. This method works only on the Chinese StackEdit site. The English version has one default theme.

5. Alternatively, VSCode’s Markdown Preview Enhanced plugin also works, but stick to light themes.

Additional Markdown Themes

StackEdit’s default themes are great, but some rely on non-CSS elements that may not copy perfectly.
