atom markdown editor

Makes the markdown editor look more like the final result.

Installation

Required

• Requires the language-markdown package for markdown parsing.

Copy style.less to your atom user stylesheet. (Edit > Stylesheet...)

Recommended

• Default settings were built with the city-lights-syntax theme.
• move-cursor-improved is recommended for making the cursor up/down work properly with non-monospace fonts.

Recommended Settings:

"*":
	editor:
		showIndentGuide: true # The indent guide is customizeable in the style config.
		showInvisibles: true # These can be hidden in the style config
		softTabs: false # Hard tabs work better with many markdown elements, like lists.
		tabLength: 4 # The indent guide is set up for 4 width hard tabs by default
	whitespace:
		removeTrailingWhitespace: false # So two spaces at the end of lines are not removed

Configure the stylesheet with the variables and mixins at the top.
