I’m teaching an advanced version of my Intro to CMS class this term (I’ll make the syllabus available later). As part of this, I have a lecture on Lightweight Markup Languages, and Markdown in particular.

For an assignment, I needed to find Markdown editor options for my students, and I found a couple of really nice ones:

You can edit Markdown in the browser, with preview, and it saves everything you do in local browser storage. When you’re done writing, you can export in a variety of formats.

(StackEdit also had a login feature (via Google), though I didn’t investigate what it did.)

Every day, between 7,000 and 10,000 unique visitors come to this website. I don't keep analytics, so I have no idea why you're here. Maybe get in touch with me and tell me why you visited today?
