Stackedit: Can this be embedded into another page?

[joekaiser]

Great job on the editor. I feel like it is bar far the best one available.

Is there any way to embed a light weight version of this into a page? What I am looking for is a simple editor with a toolbar and a preview area, and don't have much need for the other features right now (doc sync, local storage, settings, etc..)

Hi @joekaiser

Sorry, StackEdit is not embeddable. However you can embed Pagedown. In StackEdit, I use a fork of Pagedown to work with ACE editor.

Hi,
I want to embed StackEdit as a simple markdown editor because of its great RTL editing feature. Does this project use that pagedown-ace any more?

What would be the current approach to do this, @benweet?

Please have a look at https://benweet.github.io/stackedit.js/.

I'd need to run a version on localhost, as I will not have a persistent network connection.

My current approach would be: Host a server running stackedit locally embedded in my main application that will sync to a cloud storage as soon as I've got network access. For this part, I'm only looking for the "core" editor capabilities: WYSIWYG, Markdown, LaTex, UML … and I would like to provide a custom API for saving/restoring the documents (in the Filesystem for now)

I really love the editor, its capabilities and if it would not be possible, I'd pretty much just rewrite everything from scratch and build my own, but just on the editor side.

Thank you really much for your efforts! :)
