Abricotine

A markdown editor for desktop

In Abricotine, you can preview your document directly in the text editor rather than in a side pane.

Abricotine is an open-source software based on modern web technologies (HTML5, CSS3 & Node.js).

Features

</blockquote>

• Write in markdown (or GFM) and export your documents in HTML,
• Preview text elements (such as headers, images, math, embedded videos, todo lists...) while you type,
• Display document table of content in the side pane,
• Display syntax highlighting for supported languages (HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, and more to come...),
• Show helpers, anchors and hidden characters,
• Copy formated HTML in the clipboard,
• Write in a distraction-free fullscreen view,
• Manage and beautify markdown tables,
• Search and replace text,
• And more features to come...

Abricotine is still in beta development. If you find a bug please report it in the dedicated bug tracker.

Installation and usage

Abricotine is working on Windows (7 and later), Linux and OSX.

Installation from binaries

Please note that prebuilt binaries are not provided for OSX, so Mac users will need to build the app by themselves (see "Building and packaging").

For Windows and Linux users, the following installation method is recommended:

1. Download prebuilt binaries from the Releases page,
2. Extract the archive,
3. Run Abricotine.exe (on Windows) or Abricotine (on Linux).

Installers are not released yet.

Building and packaging

Requirements

• Node.js and npm,
• Make sure you meet node-gyp requirements (specific to your platform and architecture),
• git (for Bower installation).

Building

1. Install requirements,
2. Download the latest Abricotine release source and extract the archive,
3. Run $ npm install in the extracted folder.
4. You can use Abricotine by running $npm start from its directory. To open a specific file, run $npm start -- [path-to-file].

Packaging

Run $ npm run packager from the built project directory and select your platform and architecture.

Packages are created in the dist directory.

Configuration

You can open and edit Abricotine JSON configuration file by clicking "Edit preferences" in the "Edit" menu.

Most of the configuration entries are already handled by menus so you do not need to edit a file for changing them. However there is no menu for editing the following options:

autopreview-security

If set to true, only iframes loaded from domains listed in autopreview-domains will be previewed.

Default is true.

autopreview-domains

Contains the list of domains considered as safe when previewing iframes (see autopreview-security).

Default:

 "autopreview-domains": [       "dailymotion.com",       "deezer.com",       "dribbble.com",       "非死book.com",       "github.com",       "google.com",       "instagram.com",       "pinterest.com",       "soundcloud.com",       "spotify.com",       "推ter.com",       "vimeo.com",       "油Tube.com"  ]

Adding spell checker dictionaries

Abricotine uses hunspell dictionaries for Linux and Windows 7. If you want to add dictionaries, simply drop the dictionary folder in the dict subdirectory of Abricotine configuration folder.

Otherwise Abricotine uses the OS builtIn dictionaries when supported.
