med

Med is a hackable markdown editor for OSX. You can use any scripts for the markdown parser.

Usage

You can set configurations such as markdown parsers and the appearance of editor at ~/.med.json like following.

{
    "path": "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin",
    "parsers": [
        "markdown",
        "emoji"
    ],
    "publishers": {
        "markdown": [
            "hatenablog"
        ],
        "html": [
            "tumblr"
        ]
    },
    "editor": {
        "fontName": "Ricty",
        "fontSize": 14,
        "padding": 10,
        "tabWidth": 2
    }
}

Parsers

You can set any scripts as the markdown parsers at parsers. Med processes texts by using these parsers in order. The scripts are required to receive user's input texts as standard input and to return the parsed result as standard output.

Publishers

You can set any scripts to publish texts on somewhere such as your blog at publishers. These can be selected and run from menu. Publishers have two types:

• markdown: scripts to publish unprocessed markdown texts.
• html: scripts to publish parsed HTML.

These scripts receive texts as standard input and the the absolute path of an opend file as the first argument.

Preview stylesheets

You can add custom styelsheets for preview. Stylesheets at ~/.med/stylesheets/*.css are loaded and can be selected from menu View > Preview stylesheets.

Quick start

I provide med-scripts for quick start. This repository includes scripts such as markdown parser and emoji parser written by node.js. For setup these scripts, clone this repository and run npm install.

$ git clone https://github.com/naoty/med-scripts.git && cd med-scripts
$ npm install

Then, edit your ~/.med.json like below.

{
    "path": "/path/to/node:/path/to/med-scripts/bin",
    "parsers": [
        "markdown"
    ]
}
