Guide to Markdown Mode for Emacs (The Book + PDF Reference Card)
Guide to Markdown Mode for Emacs
About the Book
The Guide to Markdown Mode for Emacs is a complete reference for the markdown-mode package for users of all levels. The book supplements the online documentation by providing more details about installation, configuration, and movement and editing commands. There are examples throughout that show the Emacs way of editing as it relates to Markdown. Additionally, the book covers more advanced usage such as subtree and structure editing, defun and page movement, marking, narrowing, region management, imenu, etc. It goes beyond the basic documentation by also discussing interaction with other packages such as Flyspell mode, CriticMarkup mode, Pandoc mode, Deft, HTML as Markdown mode, MathJax, and more. Finally, it also contains tips and tricks for custom configuration options such as custom CSS stylesheets, using pre- and post-processors, customizing faces, keeping notes in a local wiki, etc.
You can support the project by purchasing the book on Leanpub, where it is available in PDF, EPUB, and Mobi formats for offline reading on mobile devices. When you buy the book on Leanpub, you will also receive a high-resolution PDF quick reference card (half-letter size for easy printing). Alternatively, you can purchase the book on the Apple iBooks Store or the Amazon Kindle Store or the paperback version on Amazon. The source code for the book is available on GitHub. All ebook editions, whether purchased on Leanpub or elsewhere, will receive free updates.
