Features === Introduction === **CodiMD** is a real-time, multi-platform collaborative markdown note editor. This means that you can write notes with other people on your **desktop**, **tablet** or even on the **phone**. You can sign-in via multiple auth providers like **Facebook**, **Twitter**, **GitHub** and many more on the [_homepage_](/). If you experience any _issues_, feel free to report it on [**GitHub**](https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd/issues). Or meet us on [**Matrix.org**](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#codimd:matrix.org) for dev-talk and interactive help. **Thank you very much!** Workspace === ## Modes **Desktop & Tablet** Edit: See only the editor. View: See only the result. Both: See both in split view. **Mobile** View: See only the result. Edit: See only the editor. ## Night Mode: When you are tired of a white screen and like a night mode, click on the little moon and turn on the night view of CodiMD. The editor view, which is in night mode by default, can also be toggled between night and day view using the the little sun. ## Image Upload: You can upload an image simply by clicking on the camera button . Alternatively, you can **drag-n-drop** an image into the editor. Even **pasting** images is possible! This will automatically upload the image to **[imgur](http://imgur.com)**, **[Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/)**, **[Minio](https://minio.io)** or **local filesystem**, nothing to worry about. :tada: ![imgur](https://i.imgur.com/9cgQVqD.png) ## Share Notes: If you want to share an **editable** note, just copy the URL. If you want to share a **read-only** note, simply press publish button and copy the URL. ## Save a Note: Currently, you can save to **Dropbox** or save an `.md` file locally. ## Import Notes: Similarly to the _save_ feature, you can also import an `.md` file from **Dropbox** , or import content from your **clipboard** , and that can parse some **html** which might be useful :smiley: ## Permissions: It is possible to change the access permission to a note through the little button on the top right of the view. There are four possible options: | |Owner read/write|Signed-in read|Signed-in write|Guest read|Guest write| |:-----------------------------|:--------------:|:------------:|:-------------:|:--------:|:---------:| | **Freely** |✔|✔|✔|✔|✔| | **Editable** |✔|✔|✔|✔|✖| | **Limited** |✔|✔|✔|✖|✖| | **Locked** |✔|✔|✖|✔|✖| | **Protected** |✔|✔|✖|✖|✖| | **Private** |✔|✖|✖|✖|✖| **Only the owner of the note can change the note's permissions.** ## Embed a Note: Notes can be embedded as follows: ```xml ``` ## [Slide Mode](./slide-example): You can use a special syntax to organize your note into slides. After that, you can use the **Slide Mode** to make a presentation. Visit the above link for details. View === ## Table of Contents: You can look at the bottom right section of the view area, there is a _ToC_ button . Pressing that button will show you a current _Table of Contents_, and will highlight which section you're at. ToCs support up to **three header levels**. ## Permalink Every header will automatically add a permalink on the right side. You can hover and click to anchor on it. Edit: === ## Editor Modes: You can look in the bottom right section of the editor area, there you'll find a button with `sublime` on it. When you click it, you can select 3 editor modes: - sublime (default) - emacs - vim ## Shortcut Keys: The shortcut keys depend on your selected editor mode. By default they are just like Sublime text, which is pretty quick and convenient. > For more information, see [here](https://codemirror.net/demo/sublime.html). For emacs: > For more information, see [here](https://codemirror.net/demo/emacs.html). For vim: > For more information, see [here](https://codemirror.net/demo/vim.html). ## Auto-Complete: This editor provides full auto-complete hints in markdown. - Emojis: type `:` to show hints. - Code blocks: type ` ``` ` and plus a character to show hint. - Headers: type `#` to show hint. - Referrals: type `[]` to show hint. - Externals: type `{}` to show hint. - Images: type `!` to show hint. ## Title: This will take the first **level 1 header** as the note title. ## Tags: Using tags as follows, the specified tags will show in your **history**. ###### tags: `features` `cool` `updated` ## [YAML Metadata](./yaml-metadata) You can provide advanced note information to set the browser behavior (visit above link for details): - robots: set web robots meta - lang: set browser language - dir: set text direction - breaks: set to use line breaks - GA: set to use Google Analytics - disqus: set to use Disqus - slideOptions: setup slide mode options ## ToC: Use the syntax `[TOC]` to embed table of content into your note. [TOC] ## Emoji You can type any emoji like this :smile: :smiley: :cry: :wink: > See full emoji list [here](http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/). ## ToDo List: - [ ] ToDos - [x] Buy some salad - [ ] Brush teeth - [x] Drink some water ## Code Block: We support many programming languages, use the auto complete function to see the entire list. ```javascript= var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting"; alert(s); function $initHighlight(block, cls) { try { if (cls.search(/\bno\-highlight\b/) != -1) return process(block, true, 0x0F) + ' class=""'; } catch (e) { /* handle exception */ } for (var i = 0 / 2; i < classes.length; i++) { if (checkCondition(classes[i]) === undefined) return /\d+[\s/]/g; } } ``` > If you want **line numbers**, type `=` after specifying the code block languagues. > Also, you can specify the start line number. > Like below, the line number starts from 101: ```javascript=101 var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting"; alert(s); function $initHighlight(block, cls) { try { if (cls.search(/\bno\-highlight\b/) != -1) return process(block, true, 0x0F) + ' class=""'; } catch (e) { /* handle exception */ } for (var i = 0 / 2; i < classes.length; i++) { if (checkCondition(classes[i]) === undefined) return /\d+[\s/]/g; } } ``` > Or you might want to continue the previous code block's line number, use `=+` ```javascript=+ var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting"; alert(s); ``` > Somtimes you have a super long text without breaks. It's time to use `!` to wrap your code. ```! When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back. ``` ### Blockquote Tags: > Using the syntax below to specifiy your **name, time and color** to vary the blockquotes. > [name=ChengHan Wu] [time=Sun, Jun 28, 2015 9:59 PM] [color=#907bf7] > > Even support the nest blockquotes! > > [name=ChengHan Wu] [time=Sun, Jun 28, 2015 10:00 PM] [color=red] ## Externals ### YouTube {%youtube aqz-KE-bpKQ %} ### Vimeo {%vimeo 124148255 %} ### Gist {%gist schacon/4277%} ### SlideShare {%slideshare briansolis/26-disruptive-technology-trends-2016-2018-56796196 %} ### Speakerdeck {%speakerdeck sugarenia/xxlcss-how-to-scale-css-and-keep-your-sanity %} ### PDF **Caution: this might be blocked by your browser if not using an `https` URL.** {%pdf https://papers.nips.cc/paper/5346-sequence-to-sequence-learning-with-neural-networks.pdf %} ## MathJax You can render *LaTeX* mathematical expressions using **MathJax**, as on [math.stackexchange.com](http://math.stackexchange.com/): The *Gamma function* satisfying $\Gamma(n) = (n-1)!\quad\forall n\in\mathbb N$ is via the Euler integral $$ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}. $$ $$ \Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt\,. $$ > More information about **LaTeX** mathematical expressions [here](http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/5020/mathjax-basic-tutorial-and-quick-reference). ## UML Diagrams ### Sequence Diagrams You can render sequence diagrams like this: ```sequence Alice->Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?
