Description Thomas Fischer 2016-03-16 13:33:35 UTC

From Wikipedia: "Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name. Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor."

Relevance: Markdown is getting increasingly popular, especially in Web-base/supported development such as done on Github.

Code: Numerous libraries to convert Markdown into other formats like HTML. As an example how Markdown is rendered in a Qt application, please see CuteMarkEd (https://github.com/cloose/CuteMarkEd).

Implementation: In KDE4 times, I would have suggested a KPart which makes use of an existing third-party library for the Markdown-to-HTML process and then rendering the result in a KHTML part (or just QTextDocument). However, as Konqueror for KF5 doesn't seem to happen, Okular is the next best choice as a viewer.

Reproducible: Always
