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] [1]:

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

3.0.2

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.
