barretlee/online-markdown

★ 922 · JavaScript · NOASSERTION · updated Jun 2025

A online markdown converter specially for Wechat Public formatting.

A browser-based tool that converts Markdown to HTML styled for WeChat Official Account articles. You paste Markdown, it renders with WeChat-compatible CSS, and you copy-paste the result into the WeChat editor. Useful only if you publish on WeChat.

Ships 20+ syntax-highlighted code themes via Highlight.js so code blocks actually look decent in WeChat articles. Custom showdown plugins handle footnotes and GitHub-style task lists, which vanilla Markdown processors miss. Three pre-built page themes cover common WeChat layout preferences (wide/narrow, larger fonts). The whole thing is a static page — no server, no account, just open and use.

The README is two sentences and a changelog in Chinese — there's no documentation on how to build from source or what the webpack config does. The codebase is a single monolithic `index.js` with jQuery and showdown bundled inline, so forking and customizing the rendering pipeline is painful. Last meaningful activity suggests it's maintained just enough to stay alive, not actively developed. Extremely narrow use case: if you don't publish to WeChat, this repo has nothing for you.
