Convert markdown wiki Links to html links

Wiki-Links [[ ]] are not part of the markdown specification, but are often used by markdown editors such as Obsidian. As they are not supported by most markdown converters we need to convert the wiki links on our own.

Bulk export OneNote notebooks to markdown and other formats

I have decided to ditch corporate software and replace everything with open source software. It is an ongoing process that takes some time. Open source alternatives took some strides in recent years. One of the rising stars is Nextcloud. It is a self-hosted data platform that lets you keep control. Featurewise we do not have to start a discussion. Everything runs in your browser, there is a mobile app and client for all desktops.

Find dead links in your markdown files

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 22:24:02 +0100

The markdown ecosystem is growing. Markdown has become an universal standard with various extensions. Software repositories, websites, documentation systems, all store their content in markdown. This blog is written in markdown as well.

Of course there are downsides to markdown. Portability comes at the cost of missing features. Thus you have to built them on your own. If you run a blog you probably reference tons of other stuff on the internet. Links that point to usefult resources or nowhere. I wanted to find out which links in my markdown documents are dead.

Meteor and React: Markdown editor with draft.js and marked.js

Tue, 05 Apr 2016 09:15:29 +0000

Recently I switched my current project from Meteor 1.2 to 1.3. While doing so I reworked the code for my markdown editor. When created the markdown editor in the first place I learned about the necessity of a solid platform to build web editors. So this time I used draft.js as base. Facebook open sourced draft.js a few months ago. They use it almost everywhere on Facebook page, so it should be well-tested.

The markdown editor you’re going to build has these features:

Instant html preview rendering
Support for GitHub flavoured syntax and markdown tables
Drag and drop file upload.
Copy and paste file upload.

Optionally: File upload with Meteor and FS Collection.
