New
- Added in-editor download menu with export options for PDF, TXT, and Markdown.
- Added print-based PDF export flow to preserve formatting (via browser print dialog).
- Added custom heading controls in toolbar: H1, H2, H3.

Improved
- Improved link dialog UX with clearer actions (Apply Link / Remove Link) and better layout.
- Auto-focus/select behavior when opening link dialog for faster editing.
- URL normalization for links (auto-prefixes https:// when protocol is missing).

Fixed
- Fixed heading icon leak into editor content by scoping header icon styles.
- Fixed dark-mode code readability for inline and multiline code blocks.
- Fixed multiline code block handling and markdown fence robustness.
- Fixed heading size consistency so H1 > H2 > H3 in both light and dark modes.

--- Normal text + H1/H2/H3 applies heading
--- Same heading click toggles back to normal text
--- Cross-heading switch (H1 -> H2, etc.) works reliably on selected lines
