🐴 markdown.horse 🐴

Write markdown files, serve them as HTML.

Add this line to the beginning of any Markdown document:

<script src="https://markdown.horse/v3.js" crossorigin integrity="sha256-WxElWxelir8xqqX9NHALSFgrj2FuMOdnmMK2wQ7xqFM="></script>

and change the extension to .html or .md.html. When you open the file in a browser, you'll see nicely-rendered Markdown--no extra work required.

Features

• CommonMark spec
• Inline HTML
• Emoji. For example, :horse: shows 🐴.
• Code syntax highlighting via highlight.js
• Heading anchors. For example: markdown.horse/#features
• Single external JS file. Only requires one additional network resource.
• Works locally. No HTTP server needed; local .md/.html files work great without being uploaded anywhere.
• Version-pinned. The integrity attribute guarantees that the JS won't change later and inject ads or something. Old versions will remain perpetually available (barring security issues).

Known issues

• There's a FOUC before markdown.horse loads. The JS asset has a cache-control: immutable header, so the FOUC doesn't normally appear on subsequent page loads.
• If you use <script> tags in your Markdown doc, they'll run twice: on initial document load, and again after markdown.horse formats everything.
• No automatic dark mode (yet) for those with browser/OS preferences set to dark mode.
• The styles are opinionated and simple. They probably needs tweaking, and to have a demo page showing off the styles of all supported content.
