Question: Turndown vs Showdown #333

I just want to ask you for tip. I have a blog app that supports only storing of html files on server side but I want to make an editor with Markdown syntax. One option is to find an editor with already implemented button in editor Switch to Markdown/Visual editing. Maybe you can recommend any? Another option is to do the conversion myself. So I found Turndown and Showdown and now confused what is a difference between them. As far I understood the Showdown is bidirectional. Maybe you can explain pros/cons of them? Thank you.

P.S. just found Dillinger editor that looks like feet my needs

If you want to convert markdown to HTML, use Marked.js If you want to convert HTML to markdown, use Showdown (it has more Github stars lol)
