Write markdown with legal citations on the left, get rendered markdown on the right. Oh, and the legal citations become links.

See the demo: https://adelevie.github.io/downlaw/

Contribute!

Add your favorite legal citation to the default text by editing build/app.js.

Dev notes

Pull requests are welcome. File an issue if you have any questions.

1. Clone the repo, cd into it
2. Run npm install
3. Edit src/app.jsx, then run gulp to transform it into a .js file.
4. Open index.html in a browser.

Build Process

Running gulp does a few things:

1. Transforms JSX into a Javascript
2. Uses Browserify to make code usable on the client
3. Minifies it

Check out the gulpfile to see how all of this is done.

Hosting

This is just a simple static website. At minimum, you just need index.html exposed to a web server (e.g. any static hostic will suffice) and make sure it points to a copy of build/app.js.

A very simple way to host this would be to fork the repo and create a gh-pages branch:

$ git clone git@github.com:[YOUR_USERNAME]/downlaw.git
$ cd downlaw
$ git branch gh-pages
$ git checkout gh-pages
$ git push origin gh-pages
