Did you ever see a font which is as readable as this one?
At such a small size?

Valletta is the first single-pane Markdown editor. Valletta's unique Combined View displays only the line under the cursor as Markdown source, and it displays the rest in "marked-down" form. This makes Valletta a beautiful and distraction-free Markdown Editor that doesn't waste your precious screenspace with an unnecessary preview pane.

The Sublime Text 2 has docs for linking the app to the command line in OS X.

Doing the same for linux is almost identical:

$ sudo ln -s /home/ed/apps/sublime_text_2/sublime_text /usr/bin/subl

The following packages (in alphabetical order – all available from Package Control): Additional PHP Snippets, Alignment, ApacheConf/htaccess, As Above, BracketHighlighter, BufferScroll, Case Conversion, Clipboard History, CoffeeScript, ColorPicker, copy-file-name, DetectSyntax, DocBlockr, DocBlox, HTML5, HyperlinkHelper, IndentXML, jQuery Snippets, LESS, MarkDown Preview, Nettus+ Fetch, Open Recent Files, Open Include, PHPDoc, PHPUnit, Placeholders, Prefixr, Pretty JSON, Quick File Creator, Quick File Renamer, SidebarGit, sublime-github, Trailing Spaces, WordCount and of course WordPress

The best way to do this, is to create your own custom launcher for Sublime. Make sure you have a sublime.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications (You can also put it in /usr/share/applications if you want it to be available to all users on the box, but you'll need root privileges to do so.) Here's a copy of mine:

Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Sublime Text Editor
Comment=Sublime Text Editor
Exec="/home/jim/bin/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text" %F
MimeType=text/plain;
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/jim/Pictures/sublime-64px.png
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;TextEditor;Development;Utility;

Keep in mind that you'll need to know the path to the executable and the path to the icon that you want to use.

Texts is a new kind of editor for creation of text structure and content. Books, articles and blog posts written once in Texts can be processed and published in many formats.

This package sets the default file type of new files to be either the same as the current file, or a predefined default.

This only affects files which are created with the Ctrl+N shortcut (Cmd+N on OSX).

TextDropApp Edits Text Files in Your Dropbox Account

Storing files in Dropbox is great, but if you need to make quick edits when you're on the go it's not the best tool. TextDropApp is a simple solution that allows you to create or edit plain text files directly in your browser and syncs them automatically with Dropbox.

TextDropApp has a simple interface without a lot of function, but it works well for quickly editing files or making notes. It's a handy way to keep a plain text to-do list or programming code synced up across computers, especially if you can't install the automatic Dropbox sync on a work computer. The information is transmitted through a private server before heading to your Dropbox account, so be careful with what you use it for.

A few years ago, I found myself writing my first PHP projects using metapad. When I was looking around for text editors with syntax highlighting, I have come across the Scintilla source code editing component. I was very much impressed by this project, so I decided to create my own Scintilla-based text editor.

The result is Notepad2, a fast and light-weight Notepad-like text editor with syntax highlighting. This program can be run out of the box without installation, and does not touch your system's registry.

Chocolat is a new text editor for Mac OS X, that combines native Cocoa with powerful text editing tools.

When current available Markdown editors are almost all for general writers, Mou is different: It's for web developers. Syntax highlighting, live preview, fullscreen mode, auto save, powerful actions, auto pair, incremental search, custom themes, HTML export, enhanced CJK characters support. I know, it's exactly the app you want.

This page lets you create HTML by entering text in a simple format that's easy to read and write.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language based on the formatting conventions that people naturally use in email. As John Gruber writes on the Markdown site:

The overriding design goal for Markdown's formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.

This document is written in Markdown; you can see the plain-text version on the left. To get a feel for Markdown's syntax, type some text into the left window and watch the results in the right. You can see a Markdown syntax guide by switching the right-hand window from Preview to Syntax Guide.

Showdown is a Javascript port of Markdown. You can get the full source code by clicking on the version number at the bottom of the page.

It is a free (as in freedom and free beer) full screen text editor developed with especially writers in mind.

TextRoom and all other similar editors share one goal: to get you writing right away by providing distraction free environment to your liking, as well as familiar set of keyboard shortcuts to control its behavior. If you don't feel comfortable already with your editor of choice, you may find it useful.

Works on Windows, Ubuntu, Fedora and other Linux distributions. Has been ported to FreeBSD, thanks to Michael James Brune. Works on Mac OS X thanks to Norberto Lopes. Silent version was reported to compile on OS/2 with a little tweak.

If you are on a system with only Qt, you can try Silent Version.
