Markdown Helper Add On for Freeplane

Welcome to the alpha version of the Markdown Helper AddOn for Freeplane.

This Add On is a tool to create markdown documents in a Freeplane mindmapping way.

More information, instructions and examples in the Markdown Helper wiki page.

How it works

The general idea of this AddOn is to insert special nodes in your map that help to translate the information in a mindmap into a Markdown document.

Here you can see an example where a paragraph is combined with nodes with links to images and webpages into a Markdown formatted text.

You obtain a good looking document retaining the flexibility that offers Freeplane and Mindmapping. You can easy reorder and insert new ideas as usual.

This AddOn is still beta

So it may have a lot of bugs. Use it at your own risk. (Freeplane has an excelent "Undo" implementation, so the risk is in fact very limited)

Please report any bug in this addOn in its GitHub page
