I was recently editing a Readme file over at www.github.com and that made go on a hunt for the best Markdown editor out there.
I posted a question over at Google+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/105779856699545910371/posts/SJdaxSi9w6N to see if I could get any suggestions. I turns out that a few people found the questions and they gave me some great suggestions.
For Windows:
MarkdownPad is from my point of view the best editor for Mardown editing. It has brilliant real-time preview and a lovely distraction free mode if you press F10.
For Linux:
ReText is the choice for Linux. It is built with Python and QT and is very similar to MardowPad for Windows.
For Multi-Platform and Web:
http://joncom.be/experiments/markdown-editor/edit/ is a very lightweight real-time preview web based tool for editing Mardown files. It is quick and very easy to use. A good option if you only edit the occasional Mardown file or if you need access to an editor on a computer where you can't install software.
For Eclipse:
http://www.winterwell.com/software/markdown-editor.php is a great little plugin for Eclipse. It does have a preview pane but it only updates if you click in the actual preview pane. Still a great option if you don't like to leave your beloved Eclipse jut to edit an exotic file.
Thanks goes out to Morten Juhl-Johansen Zőlde-Fejér and Jodi Jae for the tips on Google+.
If you know about other Markdown editors that you think beat the ones above hands down, please add them in the comments or in the subject over at Google+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/105779856699545910371/posts/SJdaxSi9w6N.
