Dillinger

Dillinger is a cloud-enabled, mobile-ready, offline-storage, AngularJS powered HTML5 Markdown editor.

• Type some Markdown on the left
• See HTML in the right
• Magic

Markdown is a lightweight markup language based on the formatting conventions that people naturally use in email. As John Gruber writes on the Markdown site

The overriding design goal for Markdown's formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.

This text you see here is actually written in Markdown! To get a feel for Markdown's syntax, type some text into the left window and watch the results in the right.

Version

3.2.7

Tech

Dillinger uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• AngularJS - HTML enhanced for web apps!
• Ace Editor - awesome web-based text editor
• Marked - a super fast port of Markdown to JavaScript
• Twitter Bootstrap - great UI boilerplate for modern web apps
• node.js - evented I/O for the backend
• Express - fast node.js network app framework @tjholowaychuk
• Gulp - the streaming build system
• keymaster.js - awesome keyboard handler lib by @thomasfuchs
• jQuery - duh

And of course Dillinger itself is open source with a public repository on GitHub.
