I use Eclipse as IDE and I installed FluentMark from the Eclipse Market Place.
Afterwards, I wrote two MarkDown files which should be converted to HTML files. (It is the documentation of a bigger project.)
My question now is: how can I convert the .md files to HTML files without leaving Eclipse?
I set Eclipse to use Pandoc as converter with the path to the executable.
The problem now is: the conversion is not done automatically and I cannot find a button to do so. Building the project or Buiding all projects doesn't help.
How can I do this task?
I am relatively new to Eclipse, so I don't know all its features (yet).
There is a very easy to miss, new toolbar item "Export as HTML".
There is also an "Export as PDF" but it requires additional tools that can not be installed from Eclipse Marketplace.
I raised an issue with FluentMark about this unintuitive use.
https://github.com/grosenberg/fluentmark/issues/39
I hope you are using FluentMark editor to edit the files.
While you are editing the files you can open 'FluentMark View' in Eclipse.
(You will have to choose 'Eclipse' -> 'Window' -> 'Show View' and select 'FluentMark View' probably from the Other option if not already listed in the options to choose.)
This will give a real time view of how the markdown files would look, upon saving the file, Eclipse should have generated a hidden html file in the same folder as your markdown file exists.
For e.g., if I am editing a README.md then after saving it and viewing in 'FluentMark View' there is a hidden html file created in same directory as .README.md.html
If this isn't working you may also try choosing other 'Show View' options like 'GFM View' (if that is already preinstalled else look for it in Marketplace).
While using prose.io to edit my markdown files, an image can be referenced using the following syntax:
This works fine on Prose preview and also after document is published.
Now I want to start using Visual Studio Code, but it does not properly preview images using this syntax.
How can I make it work?
Thanks to #Waylan insight, I tried using this syntax, that seems to be the starndard Markdown:
images folder is in the same level as posts folder, where markdown files are located.
This made Visual Studio Code properly preview images. I was also able to properly preview images on prose.io (it seems it also accepts standard Markdown).
I want to use VS Code to try out the examples of a JavaScript book, but there's no IntelliSense, or at least I don't know how to activate it.
In Visual Studio this feature works out of the box :
But in VS Code, all I got is a message saying "No suggestions."
What do I need to do to enable IntelliSense in VS Code?
Starting with the November 2016 (version 1.8) release, Visual Studio Code now fully supports IntelliSense for JavaScript in HTML.
Note that the language support doesn't follow script includes, it only knows about definitions made in the same file.
Currently Unsupported
JS intellisense doesnt work in HTML script tag - VSCode GitHub Issues #4369
Smart Javascript suggestions inside HTML files no loger working after Visual Studio Code update - StackOverflow
It worked for me, when the file had a .js extension. I didn't get any intellisense when I pasted it into .html file between script tags.
Edit To Add: You can also change the Language Mode by clicking 'HTML' in the bottom of the VS Code window and change it to 'JavaScript'.
It is supported!
Intellisense and syntax highlighting start working after replacing
<script>something()</script>
with
<script type="text/javascript">something()</script>
Make sure you have HTML language mode selected in the bottom right corner. I had Markdown mode set for an unknown reason (autodetect?) and it didn't work for me. Javascript mode won't work either for HTML files.
Visual Studio Code version 1.4.0 does not support CSS intelli-sense.
I have an extension for CSS style, id and class intelli-sense for html documents:
Features:
Style tag completion and hover.
Style attribute completion and hover.
Id attribute completion.
Class attribute completion.
Scans workspace folder for css files.
Supports optional resource.json file for fine tuned resource selection.

Is there a way to display .md files offline so we know what it will look like once it's uploaded in Github? I'm referring to showing the README.md file as it would come out in Github, and not as for editing purposes.
Needs to work on Mac and Windows since I use both.
There are a few Chrome plug-ins that work well. I've been using Markdown Preview Plus.
After install, enable "Allow access to file URLs" in Extensions (menu > More tools > Extensions or enter URL chrome://extensions/ instead).
Then drag-n-drop a Markdown file onto Chrome and use your favorite editor to edit.
I wrote Grip a while ago to do exactly this. It renders exactly like it does on GitHub and provides several additional options too:
In addition to READMEs, Grip can renders GitHub comments and issues
Click through local links to render other .md files
An API to use in your own projects
Export to an HTML file
Install with pip:
pip install grip
Then go to the directory that contains your README file and run:
grip
Pass -h for additional help and options.
Here's a screenshot of Grip rendering Grip's README:
Check it out here.
Atom by Github. Gives you a side by side preview.
Visual Studio Code - the new editor by Microsoft also provides very good support for markdown editing.
You can download it from here.
The editor provides good support to toggle between the markdown code and the preview mode.
It also provides reasonably good intellisense support for all the markdown syntax.
The editor is free for use and is also cross platform (works on Linux, Windows and Mac).
For more details you can check on their website
Late to the party, but have a look at MarkdownPad.
See Python-Markdown-Editor
It is based on :
Python-Markdown
Pygments (code block syntax highlighting)
CodeMirror (javascript code editor)
Bottle
Install with pip :
$ pip install markdown-editor
It features when-you-type preview, code highlight, fenced code blocks, github style
it can be used by commandline :
$ markdown_edit
$ markdown_edit README.md
$ markdown_edit -f readme.html README.md
I created this to build a tool for sending code reviews, it is easily extensible, by importing it as a module you can add custom actions.
I just installed https://github.com/ypocat/gfms. It does a very good job rendering github flavored markdown. It detects changes in your markdown, so you just put your browser and editor side-by-side. It is Node.js, so it should work fine on any platform.
If you have Node.js is installed, the installation is simple:
sudo npm install -g gfms
gfms --port 9999 (in your project directory)
http://localhost:9999/ (open with any browser)
I found a way to view it in PHP. After doing some more snooping I found 2 solutions for offline and online viewing of .md files:
Offline: https://github.com/WolfieZero/Markdown-Viewer-PHP
Online: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus
I recommend the offline version so you can do your editing even while you're doing your business on the throne. :)
There are people who does not use Google Chrome. There is a Firefox add-on called Markdown Viewer which is able to read Markdown files offline.
pandoc is a nice Text-To-Text conversion tool that solves the problem of offline visualization of your Markdown. Just issue:
pandoc -f markdown -t html README.md > README.html
have you tried ReText? It is a nice desktop Markdown editor
I found MarkView Google Chrome extension pretty useful, actually it's working like a charm:
MarkView is a Chrome extention for editing and viewing markdown file with an outline view, support multiple table format styles, code block syntax highlight and Github Flavored Markdown.
Features:
Editing and Viewing markdown file in web page style.
Auto reload local file when file is changed (Post-installation:
select "Allow access to file URLs" option in chrome://extensions/)
Show outline beside the content in scrollable way
Have buttons for GoTop, ViewSource and GoBottom
Support Github Flavored Markdown table styles and code highlight.
Highlight the code area for programming languages(eg. ```ruby)
Support web pages printing with decent outlook(Chrome->File->Print...)
Responsive: when the window size small than 940px, outline section will
automatically hidden; resize bigger than 940px, outline section will display.
MarkView will view all markdown files except those under raw.github.com
because that subdomain only displays the source.
More features have been added to MarkView:
WYSIWYG markdown editor
Themes and Code Styling Selection
Support Footnotes1 ↩
Instant Slides Presentation
Document Custom Styling
Add Theme CSS and Select
Add Code Style and Select
Write CSS, Save and Run
I like the vertical splitter in Downmarker, you can see the changes as you write!
You can use texts as a md viewer and md editor, its lightweight and neat.
Geany has a plugin for markdown which does a fair job, giving you also a Markdown preview in the sidebar. It also runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
To use it, install geany, then install the package geany-plugin-markdown and select it from the plugin manager.
I just coded up an offline markdown viewer using the node.js file watcher and socket.io, so you point your browser at localhost and run ./markdownviewer /path/to/README.md and it streams it to the browser using websockets.
markdownviewer https://github.com/Hainish/markdownviewer/
There is also StackEdit. It will work both online and offline (it uses your browser local storage).
You can also connect it with Dropbox or Google Drive to see files hosted on the cloud.
If you're a vim person, you can try the vim-preview plugin. Simply install it into your ~/.vim directory with your method of choice. Then you can open a Markdown file with vim and use the command :Preview which will open a new window in your browser and display the end result.
Consider Strapdown.
Strapdown is Javascript-based solution that renders the markdown content in the browser, which makes it great for offline-viewing.
From their own description:
Strapdown.js makes it embarrassingly simple to create elegant Markdown documents. No server-side compilation required.
So rename your .md markdown file to .html, and surround it with:
<xmp theme="united" style="display:none;">
# Markdown content here
…
</xmp>
<script src="http://strapdownjs.com/v/0.2/strapdown.js"></script>
and opening in any browser will show rendered HTML. Added bonus: you can easily change the theme.
One of the simplest resources that works well on MacOSX is the Markdown Quick Look plugin found at InkMark. After installing this on OS X 10.9+, you simply select a markdown file in Finder and tap the space bar. I am not certain if the results are correlated 100% with Github but they are pretty good and make for a tiny unobtrusive offline viewer only solution. Mashable also wrote an article on 78 different tools if you'd like other options.
For MAC I use Marked, for Windows I use Muto-Mark. Both support the GH stylesheet.
An easy solution for most situations: copy/paste the markdown into a viewer in the "cloud." Here are two choices:
Dillinger.io
Dingus
Nothing to install! Cross platform! Cross browser! Always available!
Disadvantages: could be hassle for large files, standard cloud application security issues.
For OS X, Mou is very nice, and it comes with two GitHub CSS themes.
Check out Haroopad. This is a really nice #markdown editor. It is free and available for multiple platforms. I've tried it on Mac OSX.
You can use extension called Markdown Syntax Highlighting for Notepad++. It is available on Github
After installation, new option in the Language dropdown will be appeared
From now I use http://marxi.co/. Marxi.co has online and offline version.
I frequently want portable applications. For this, I found
http://cloose.github.io/CuteMarkEd/ (I have just tried it briefly, and it seems to work fine).
http://markdownpad.com/faq.html#portable
RStudio can handle markdown files and convert them into html and pdf. If you already have it, you can use RStudio (it is an IDE for R programming language). It is free and open source, and works on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Remarkable, certainly a great tool.
Note: Not available for Mac
Features:
Live preview
It's free.
Extremely lightweight
Export to HTML, PDF
Download: https://remarkableapp.github.io/
Edit 2022
I use and love Mark Text now. (https://marktext.app)
You may use Scribefire Next.
It's a Mozilla Firefox browser plugin. Just install the extension and fire up Firefox. Customize your toolbar and place the Scribefire shortcut to it. And since it's a browser plugin, you can use it in Mac, Linux and Windows.
When you want to write in Markdown mode, just click Edit Code from the Scribefire window.
Now to meet your purpose, go to Edit Code mode and copy all the texts and paste it to your .md file and upload.
There is no live preview feature for this, you have to toggle Edit Code and Edit Visually to preview your text.
I'm using it in my Linux Mint box:
Update:
It's year 2014, need to add some other awesome tool here for other readers and researchers. Just recently used Brackets + Markdown Preview Extension.
