Dillinger

Dillinger is a cloud-enabled, mobile-ready, offline-storage, AngularJS powered HTML5 Markdown editor.

• Type some Markdown on the left
• See HTML in the right
• Magic

New Features!

• Import a HTML file and watch it magically convert to Markdown
• Drag and drop images (requires your Dropbox account be linked)

You can also:

• Import and save files from GitHub, Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive
• Drag and drop markdown and HTML files into Dillinger
• Export documents as Markdown, HTML and PDF

Markdown is a lightweight markup language based on the formatting conventions that people naturally use in email. As john gruber writes on the Markdown site

The overriding design goal for Markdown's
formatting syntax is to make it as readable
as possible. The idea is that a
Markdown-formatted document should be
publishable as-is, as plain text, without
looking like it's been marked up with tags
or formatting instructions.

This text you see here is actually written in Markdown! To get a feel for Markdown's syntax, type some text into the left window and watch the results in the right.

Tech

Dillinger uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• AngularJS - HTML enhanced for web apps!
• Ace Editor - awesome web-based text editor
• markdown-it - Markdown parser done right. Fast and easy to extend.
• Twitter Bootstrap - great UI boilerplate for modern web apps
• node.js - evented I/O for the backend
• express - fast node.js network app framework @tjholowaychuk
• Gulp - the streaming build system
• Breakdance - HTML to Markdown converter
• jQuery - duh

And of course Dillinger itself is open source with a public repository

Building for source

For production release:

By default, the Docker will expose port 80, so change this within the Dockerfile if necessary. When ready, simply use the Dockerfile to build the image.

cd dillinger,
docker build -t joemccann/dillinger:,

This will create the dillinger image and pull in the necessary dependencies. Be sure to swap out json.version with the actual version of Dillinger.

Once done, run the Docker image and map the port to whatever you wish on your host. In this example, we simply map port 8000 of the host to port 80 of the Docker (or whatever port was exposed in the Dockerfile):

docker run -d -p 8000:8080 --restart="always" /dillinger:,

Verify the deployment by navigating to your server address in your preferred browser.
