Welcome to StackEdit!

Hey!our first Markdown document in StackEdit. Don't delete me, I'm very helpful! I can be recovered anyway in the Utils tab of the Settings dialog.

Documents

StackEdit stores your documents in your browser, which means all your documents are automatically saved locally and are accessible offline!

Create a document

The document panel is accessible using the button in the navigation bar. You can create a new document by clicking New document in the document panel.

Switch to another document

All your local documents are listed in the document panel. You can switch from one to another by clicking a document in the list or you can toggle documents using Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+].

Rename a document

You can rename the current document by clicking the document title in the navigation bar.

Delete a document

You can delete the current document by clicking Delete document in the document panel.

Export a document

You can save the current document to a file by clicking Export to disk from the menu panel.

Synchronization

StackEdit can be combined with Google Drive and Dropbox to have your documents saved in the Cloud. The synchronization mechanism takes care of uploading your modifications or downloading the latest version of your documents.

Open a document

You can open a document from Google Drive or the Dropbox by opening the Synchronize sub-menu and by clicking Open from.... Once opened, any modification in your document will be automatically synchronized with the file in your Google Drive / Dropbox account.

Save a document

You can save any document by opening the Synchronize sub-menu and by clicking Save on.... Even if your document is already synchronized with Google Drive or Dropbox, you can export it to a another location. StackEdit can synchronize one document with multiple locations and accounts.

Synchronize a document

Once your document is linked to a Google Drive or a Dropbox file, StackEdit will periodically (every 3 minutes) synchronize it by downloading/uploading any modification. A merge will be performed if necessary and conflicts will be detected.

If you just have modified your document and you want to force the synchronization, click the button in the navigation bar.

Manage document synchronization

Since one document can be synchronized with multiple locations, you can list and manage synchronized locations by clicking Manage synchronization in the Synchronize sub-menu. This will let you remove synchronization locations that are associated to your document.

Publication

Once you are happy with your document, you can publish it on different websites directly from StackEdit. As for now, StackEdit can publish on Blogger, Dropbox, Gist, GitHub, Google Drive, Tumblr, WordPress and on any SSH server.

Publish a document

You can publish your document by opening the Publish sub-menu and by choosing a website. In the dialog box, you can choose the publication format:

• Markdown, to publish the Markdown text on a website that can interpret it (GitHub for instance),
• HTML, to publish the document converted into HTML (on a blog for example),
• Template, to have a full control of the output.

Update a publication

After publishing, StackEdit will keep your document linked to that publication which makes it easy for you to update it. Once you have modified your document and you want to update your publication, click on the button in the navigation bar.

Manage document publication

Since one document can be published on multiple locations, you can list and manage publish locations by clicking Manage publication in the menu panel. This will let you remove publication locations that are associated to your document.

Markdown Extra

StackEdit supports Markdown Extra, which extends Markdown syntax with some nice features.

Tables

Markdown Extra has a special syntax for tables:

Computer	$1600
Phone	$12
Pipe	$1

You can specify column alignment with one or two colons:

Computer	$1600	5
Phone	$12	12
Pipe	$1	234

Definition Lists

Markdown Extra has a special syntax for definition lists too:

Term 1

Term 2

: Definition A

: Definition B

Term 3

Definition C

Definition D

Fenced code blocks

GitHub's fenced code blocks are also supported with Highlight.js syntax highlighting:

// Foo

var bar = 0;

Footnotes

You can create footnotes like this.

SmartyPants

SmartyPants converts ASCII punctuation characters into "smart" typographic punctuation HTML entities. For example:

Single backticks	'Isn't this fun?'	'Isn't this fun?'
Quotes	"Isn't this fun?"	"Isn't this fun?"
Dashes	-- is en-dash, --- is em-dash	-- is en-dash, --- is em-dash

Table of contents

You can insert a table of contents using the marker [TOC]:

MathJax

You can render LaTeX mathematical expressions using MathJax, as on math.stackexchange.com:

The Gamma function satisfying \(\Gamma(n) = (n-1)!\quad\forall n\in\mathbb N\) is via the Euler integral

\[\Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt\,.
\]

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML"></script>

UML diagrams

You can also render sequence diagrams like this:

Alice->Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?

Note right of Bob: Bob thinks

Bob-->Alice: I am good thanks!

And flow charts like this:

st=>start: Start

e=>end

op=>operation: My Operation

cond=>condition: Yes or No?

st->op->cond

cond(yes)->e

cond(no)->op
