In my search for an external Markdown editor for windows or Linux to write posts for Steemit, I think I finally succeeded!
This editor is called Ghostwriter
and you can find it here: https://wereturtle.github.io/ghostwriter/
This editor is fantastic: you can very easily markup ( in fact Markdown...) your texts "on the fly"
THIS IS REALLY FANTASTIC!!
You can do all the Markdown, there is a Cheat Sheet:
make a list automatically:
- this is line one
- after a return I get line 2
- and one more return gives me line 3 and so on!
a table can be made up in the usual way:
| Kolom1 | Kolom twee | kolom 3 |
|---|---|---|
| een | twee | three |
You can insert images, but you have to put them on a place on the internet like a cloud storage and then link to them, so it might be easier to just paste in the pictures later in steemit..
When you press CTRL-M, you get a preview in a floating screen:
You can save your file just as with any other program to your local or cloud disk, name it, work on it later etcetera.
If you are satisfied with your work, just copy the whole text in the Ghostwriter editor and simply paste it in your steemit ( Markdown ) edit window.
This works in the busy.org editor as well!!!
This will definitively be my editor of choice for all my steemit posts!
