Markdown 'Editor and Preview' mode only shows preview

Question

Why does the "Editor and Preview" mode in IntelliJ IDE only show the preview section and not the editor?

Answer

This situation occurs when the slider between the raw markdown editor and the preview pane is positioned all the way to the left, effectively hiding the editor view. Here's how to resolve it:

1. In the "Editor and Preview" mode, locate the vertical slider bar between the editor and preview panes.

2. Click and drag the slider to the right to reveal the raw markdown editor.
