Dillinger is a cloud-enabled, mobile-ready, offline-storage, AngularJS powered HTML5 Markdown editor.
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][df1]
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.
And of course Dillinger itself is open source with a [public repository][dill] on GitHub.
Dillinger requires Node.js v4+ to run.
Install the dependencies and devDependencies and start the server.
$ cd dillinger
$ npm install -d
$ node app
For production environments…
$ npm install --production
$ npm run predeploy
