Blogger with markdown

• Why: Focus on the content, easy to store/edit the content locally

1: Use “Copy Html” function from markdown-preview-plus

• Then paste output

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-size: large;">
     _copy_html_output_from_markdown-preview-plus_
</div></div>

2: Use pandoc

pandoc -f markdown -t html5 -c style.css -s --highlight-style espresso -o the_output.html the.md
pandoc -f markdown -t html5 -c style.css -s --highlight-style espresso -o the.md | pbcopy

• then remove no needed head, body tags

Atom

• Plugins: markdown-preview-plus

pandoc

• brew install pandoc
• Add eval “$(pandoc --bash-completion)” to ${HOME}/.bash_profile
• generate pdf: -o output.df
  • install this first: brew cask install mactex
• generate ppt: -o output.pptx
• pandoc --list-extensions
• pandoc --list-output-formats

remark

• in-browser, markdown-driven slideshow tool

Gotcha

• Space matters:
  • for link, no space between [] and (), for header, need space between ### and the words
  • check the colors in atom
• Empty line matters
  • when not sure, add empty line

Basic Syntax

~~crossed out~~
_italic_
__bold__
_You **can** combine them_

> This is a blockquote
// horizontal rule tag (<hr />) 
---
// Code span - use `and`
Type `echo 'Hello World'`
