parse markdown in contenteditable #13

Closed dzfranklin closed 8 years ago

dzfranklin commented 8 years ago

Often in contentediable based editors the controls offered are too limited or are annoying to use, so a method to type in them using markdown would be very useful. If the text typed in Atom was run through a markdown to html converter before being sent to a contentediable that would be very convenient. Is this possible as a setting?

Thanks, Daniel

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. The feature has already beek asked in #4. It is possible, but not as trivial as it seems: because as the text is synchonized, we need to have something that converts both ways without loosing information (as much as markdown allows us to). I started a bit the work in https://github.com/tuvistavie/meditable, but did not really have the time to work on it recently, so help is very welcome. As This issue is basically the same as #4, I will close here. Thank you!
