How to convert markdown to html in realtime.

[kyunooh]

We should find some library about convert to html. and it should be easy to edit code for making slide.

or the other way is we make it. I think that is not that hard now.

ps. This issue is not about django feature. so It is not need to make by everybody. If you wanted to implement this feature, you assign to yourselves. or ask to help to another one.

I found a js library https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js

How about using this? (I did not ever use it)

We are studying Django which is a PYTHON Web framework, NOT JS one. So I think we should use python markdown parser. ex) python-markdown2 (I've not ever use it too) We can implement realtime thing and learn Django more, using python md parser and ajax.

Wow.... We need to talk about it. I think both of them are correct way.

We've discussed about JavaScript vs Python for parser on our team slack. In conclusion, we decided to use JavaScript for markdown parsing.

So, we should choose a markdown-parser js library. (like above library i found)
