EpicEditor – An embeddable JavaScript Markdown editor

The only sane solution I've yet seen is WYMeditor[1]. All the ease and immediacy of WYSIWYG, but producing proper standards-compliant code with the classes you choose. The code's not brilliant (having Rangy mixed in to cope with legacy IE annoys me), but the concept is so far ahead of anything else that I now use it pretty much exclusively for in-browser editing; as a professional writer I could never rewire my habits to the obtrusive markup of Markdown.

Thanks for the link! There were little quirks with redactor that was annoying and I think this tool would have eliminated those. The only thing that I don't like about the examples is when you want to edit in HTML, it puts the editor at the top. I prefer how redactor does it, which is one window at a time. However I'm guessing this is all customizable or you can implement one yourself if you wanted to.

Too bad it looks kinda ugly. Example: http://wymeditor.github.io/wymeditor/dist/examples/01-basic....

I think these things are quite easy to fix. I definitely prefer redactors look, but being able to see each container is actually quite nice. You sort of have use your imagination when it comes to layout spacing, but I think this route is definitely better.

i'd love to see it in action. and the examples don't work, at least not to my satisfaction. could you mount a demo? full-screen-height editor on the left half of the window.
