This is a simple email editing tool (based on Electron and Vue.js 1.x) that imports email template and converts Markdown text into HTML file. I wrote this to simplify the process of composing different campaign emails and unifying email styles composed by different writers.
To install required packages, ensure that you run npm install in both the root directory (for build tools) and /app directory (for app dependencies). Type
npm start in the root level to run the app.
I use electron-packager to package the tool. Type npm run pack-mac to package for mac and npm run pack-win for Windows 32/64bit.
Template will define how some of the Markdown elements should be presented in the output email. Currently it only supports paragraph, header 1, header 2 and image. Notice that the template follows the syntax of mustache, so {{{ and }}} indicates variables that are rendered as unescaped HTML, and {{ and }} indicates variables that are rendered as HTML-escaped.
This should include root-level html, head and body tags. You can define the styles in head tag, and the editor will use Juice to inline your css properties into applicable tags. The template should include {{{ content }}} to indicate where you want to place the generated HTML content. See this example.
This defines how paragraph content should be presented. It requires {{{ content }}}/{{ content }} to indicate where you want to place the paragraph text. See this example.
These defines how header 1, header 2 text should be presented. They requires {{{ headerText }}}/{{ headerText}} indicate where you want to place the header text. See these examples (h1, h2)
This defines how image should be presented. It requires {{ imageSrc }} to indicate the image source url. See this example.
