markdown-toolbar

Brackets extension that adds Markdown editing support via a toolbar.

Features

Formatting

• Heading (H1 - H6) toggles
• Numbered and unnumbered lists
• Bold, italic, monospace, strikethrough. Work as toggles, though they are a little picky about the selection in order to toggle off.
• Images and links
• Code blocks
• Buttons do sensible things with no selection, single selection, or multiple selections.

Converting to Markdown

• Separate paragraphs: Adds a blank line between paragraphs. This is very handy for reformatting text pasted from a non-Markdown source such as a word processor. By its nature it can only be applied once, so it's important to control the selection.
• Reflow: Reformats a paragraph to add hard line breaks to keep lines under a maximum length. Handles lists well, so it's pretty safe to apply it to a whole document. It is safe to apply multiple times or to reapply to a paragraph that is already partially correct. It does not handle tables well, so keep it away from those.

Planned Features

• Add a button and a GUI to insert a Markdown table
• Make reflow smart about tables

Preferences

• markdownbar.showOnStartup: Display the toolbar when Brackets starts, default false
• markdownbar.maxLength: Maximum line length used for reflow, default 80

Example:

{
    ...
    "markdownbar.showOnStartup": true,
    "markdownbar.maxLength": 75
}
