I probably won’t do this as I know my Markdown tags inside out. What’s wonderful though is that the styling menu can be completely rewritten for Markdown. The keyboard shortcuts for lists, bold, italic are very handy and add HTML tags to selected text. The plain text mode is originally supposed to be for HTML. It also has the merit of offering two modes: MarsEdit is the only one of these editors which is two-way. There’s just one WordPress Markdown editor for Mac standing. If you work with WordPress and like to write in Markdown, probably. I don’t know if you find the reading above as depressing as I do. MarsEdit: The Last WordPress Markdown Editor Standing If not, please let me know in the comments. If you think there’s a hidden gem of an editor missing here, it’s probably on the list of abandonware editors at the bottom of this post. Optimistically as independent (non-Jetpack) and open source Markdown publishing becomes available again for WordPress with our new Typewriter plugin comes out iAWriter might eventually do just that. The team at iAWriter are intelligent enough to write a proper REST interface and to allow publishing directly in Markdown, without Gutenberg. This should work even for those of us using Parsedown, as the HTML comments about the Gutenberg block should do no harm if Gutenberg is not installed. Eventually perhaps some of them will offer an option to publish to a Gutenberg Markdown block instead. I thought IndieAuth was supposed to help with connection not make it more difficult.Īll of them of course now struggle with the Gutenberg editor, as each of them is publishing into a Classic Editor block for now in HTML. I dutifully installed the IndieAuth plugin but iAWriter was unable to connect to my testing with a REST failure notice. Instead, iAWriter uses a fairly obscure third party framework/plugin called IndieAuth. Unfortunately, as well as being one way, and publishing only in HTML, iAWriter has made the strange decision to bypass WordPress’s two API’s – both XML-RPC and REST. I’m writing now in iAWriter and it’s my main writing tool.
