I love Markdown. It made me change my mind about writing documentations. Makes it almost pleasant.

Now, whenever I’m about to write some content I first look for a tool that lets me do it in markdown. So here’s a list of all my makrdown tools.

Marp

Let’s me create slides in markdown. Clean and simple. Exports to PDF. Works really well for prezentations that include code samples. Higlighting works out of the box. If you want to enforce specific language use:

```typescript
const message:string = `Typescript highligting`;
```

Hugo

Static site generator. I’ve just started using it to run this blog. Written in go, so installation is simple and painless (go produces static binaries). Previously I’ve fiddled with jekyll and octopress.
They’re both written in ruby. If you’re not a ruby developer, then installing ruby software is a pain. My own sources where mixed with project files. Just look at my octopress blog sources (with just one post). A total mess. The posts are hidden in some obscure underscored folder source/_posts.

Hugo is a breath of fresh air after them. Blog sources contain only markdown posts, configuration and theme.

ReText

Standalone markdown editor with live preview. Just like the standard gedit editor, but with markdown preview.
