A drop-in JavaScript textarea replacement for writing beautiful and understandable markdown. The WYSIWYG-esque editor allows you to modify the markdown with toolbar buttons and shortcuts. It has been designed to be easy to use by users who are less technical.
Markdownify is an improvement of [lepture's Editor project](https://github.com/lepture/editor) and includes a great many number of changes. It is bundled with [CodeMirror](https://github.com/codemirror/codemirror) and [Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/).
CodeMirror is the backbone of the project and parses much of the markdown syntax as it's being written. This allows us to add styles to the markdown that's being written. Additionally, a toolbar and statusbar has been added to the top and bottom, respectively. Previews are rendered by [Marked](https://github.com/chjj/marked).
