The approach embodies the open source mentality, allowing the user to add extensions to provide only the features needed. I’m a big fan of Markdown-Writer and markdown-pdf the latter converts markdown to PDF, PNG and JPEG on the fly. If you need an auto-scroll feature, there’s markdown-scroll-sync. Alternatively, you might try Markdown Preview Enhanced. For example, Markdown Preview Plus provides a real-time preview of markdown documents, with math rendering and live reloading. There are a plethora of packages, some forks, which add the missing functionality. But as a Markdown editor Atom leaves a lot to be desired – its default packages are bereft of Markdown specific features for example, it doesn’t render equations, as illustrated in the graphic above.īut here lies the power of open source and one of the reasons I’m a strong advocate of openness. It features in our Killer Open Source Apps, it is that masterly.

With this editor you can write Markdown and view the changes as you make them in the live preview window. It has a syntax like Github flavoured markdown. Remarkable is a reasonably featured Markdown editor – it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but there’s nothing critical missing. Linux, OS X and Windows’ users are catered for. All of the applications are, of course, released under an open source license.

The software featured in this roundup allows an author to write professional documents of various formats including blog posts, presentations, reports, email, slides and more. But I recommend an editor purposely designed for this syntax. Markdown can be composed in any text editor. It’s popularity as a format for writing for the web has also led to variants being adopted by many services such as GitHub and Stack Exchange. Almost all content management systems support Markdown. Text written in Markdown has the virtue of being easy to share between computers, smart phones, and individuals. Users should be able to publish a Markdown-formatted document as plain text.

The main goal for the formatting syntax is to make it extremely readable. If you have seen my HTML, you would know that’s pretty essential. Besides being a friendly syntax, it has the virtue of producing clean and valid (X)HTML output. By keeping the syntax as simple as possible, the risk of errors is minimized. It has a gentle learning curve you can literally learn the Markdown syntax in the time it takes to fry some mushrooms (that’s about 10 minutes). Markdown’s syntax consists of easy to remember symbols. Markdown offers individuals “to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML)”. By way of a succinct introduction, Markdown is a lightweight plain text formatting syntax created by John Gruber together with Aaron Swartz.
