Write in Markdown and let MarkText do its HTML magic!
What is the advantage of doing this?
Well mostly time efficiency, markdown is significantly easier to write and some features of HTML can come to you as mystery like underlining text or making it italic. These are very easy with Markdown! And in case you don’t know how to use Markdown, I got you covered. There is a little open source project called MarkText which has all of those covered in their menu system. You can just press the menu icon to see all the options that Markdown has! Or easier, just press the “¶” icon at the right of the paragraph you are writing to see the available options. You can see more options by selecting text, It also comes with the Hunspell spellchecker.
How do I convert it to HTML though?
Again with MarkText, you can select everything you wrote, press the menu icon and then select “Edit” >
“Copy as HTML”. It’s that easy! It has very minor problems, but most are negligible. If you want utter
perfection, I suggest Pandoc. Usage is very easy, all you need to write is
this one command "pandoc -o output.html markdownFile" (change “markdownFile” with the name of
your markdown file). Or, if the command line scares you, you can use one of the online Pandoc converters or a
GUI frontend for Pandoc.
