live preview #113

Closed buhman closed 9 years ago

I hear people want this.

The idea is:

you write your markdown or whatever
you can see (perhaps even as you type or something) what the rendered output looks like

Why I would be ok with not doing this:

involves adding client-side js (arguably completely disqualifying pb from being 'lightweight')
you could accomplish the same thing more or less just by repeated submissions and forward/backward in the browser

If we do this, I'd like to write this in AngularJS. Would create precedent for other potentially interesting things as well.

I'd love this. I hope this happens.

What I have so far is previewable here and here for an example (the 'highlight' button doesn't do anything (yet), but everything else works).

@silverp1; I suggest we create a new repo for this sub-project; silverp1/pbc perhaps. Or, maybe move this all to the pb organization, so that the C rewrite can live there too.

@tb01110100; what do you think?

buhman commented 9 years ago

pbc lives here now.
