WMD

Outstanding “what you see is what you mean” Markdown editor written in JavaScript. Best way to compose Markdown-formatted text in a browser textarea field I’ve seen, by far:

You can add WMD to any textarea with one line of code. Add live preview with one line more. There’s nothing to install on the server, and WMD works in nearly all modern browsers.

Update: Freely downloadable now, and author John Fraser is working on an open source release coming soon.
