Markdawn

So I’m writing this post to test out Markdawn, wondering if it’s related to Markdown, as there is no information on the website about what exactly it is.

Oh wait - I click the little grey question mark and out pops a quick reference for formatting syntax. Yeah, I think this is Markdown (or something similar). Interesting, I just saw this editor auto close my parenthesis.

Let me try some code:

def play(lst):
    random.shuffle(lst)
    if sorted(lst) == lst:
        return 'bingo!'

Hmm, that was actually nice because:

  • Using the TAB key worked as desired.
  • Emacs style shortcuts worked (Ctrl-P, Ctrl-N, etc.).

What I would love is:

  • Auto indenting new lines to match previous line.
  • Syntax highlighting for multiple languages (specially Python :).

That’s it for now but the experiments will continue.
