Favorite self-rendering Markdown tool in JavaScript??

3 points by camkego 4y ago ↗ HN

Hi HNers. I'm currently using a static site generator, but I am really interested in exploring in-page JS Markdown to HTML tools. So the Markdown to HTML rendering happens as page load time.

This would hopefully allow me to forego the static .md -> .html step I use for building my sites.

I found one called 'texme' here: https://github.com/susam/texme

Do you use or have written a similar tool? I'd like to find what's available and try some of the different tools out.

Thanks, Cameron

I think https://github.com/markedjs/marked would be one of the more popular libraries in this category

Thanks for the link.

Okay, I guess there is not a ton of interest in this topic, but here is another one I found: https://github.com/zerodevx/zero-md

I've previously used Strapdown: http://strapdownjs.com/

From my bookmarks, there's also Markdeep: https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/

Thank you for this, vitovito
