Markdown Plugin For NetBeans 7 📎

Markdown is a simple markup language which allows you to write documentation fast and export it to different formats. GitHub's Readme files are markdown files.

flow-netbeans-markdown NetBeans 7 plugin brings basic syntax highlighting and quick HTML preview.

Although there is no binary distribution, the plugin can be installed in about 2 minutes:

  1. git clone git://github.com/madflow/flow-netbeans-markdown.git
  2. Open the folder with NetBeans, from the context menu choose "Create NBM"
  3. Install the plugin from: Tools -> Plugins -> Downloaded

Click on a xyz.md file and choose "View HTML"

flow-netbeans-markdown is my first plugin I installed in NetBeans in the last 5 years. It is a nice exception from my vanilla-IDE rule…

Great work--please star the repo: https://github.com/madflow/flow-netbeans-markdown
