[Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) 是一种有用的轻量级[标记语言](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language)，很多人喜欢用它来编写文档或做网页发布。很多人都使用 Markdown 来写文章。


有[几个适用于 Linux 的 Markdown 编辑器](https://itsfoss.com/best-markdown-editors-linux/)，你可以安装并使用。


但是，如果你不想在你的系统上安装另一个程序怎么办？也许你暂时使用的系统无法安装一个应用程序？也许你只是想要一个能让你实时协作的 Markdown 编辑器？


无论你的需求是什么，在线 Markdown 编辑器通过提供协作功能、发布集成、笔记同步和一些在线功能，让很多事情变得简单。


因此，我整理了一份在线 Markdown 编辑器列表。


### 免费的在线 Markdown 编辑器


我尽量把重点放在代码开源的在线 Markdown 编辑器上。你可以使用它们的官方网站或将其部署到你的服务器上。


注：本列表没有特定排名顺序。


#### 1、StackEdit


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003406ul7e637i02l29437.png)


[StackEdit](https://itsfoss.com/stackedit-markdown-editor/) 是目前最流行的开源在线 Markdown 编辑器之一。


它提供了一个很好的用户界面，并有一堆有用的功能。协作能力、同步能力，以及能够将你的文件发布/保存到 Blogger、WordPress、GitHub 和其他一些服务是 StackEdit 的一些关键功能。


不要忘了，你还可以使用一些 Markdown 扩展来支持 LaTeX 数学表达式、UML 图等。它的界面是一个所见即所得的编辑器，可以让你轻松使用 Markdown。它还可以离线工作，如果你需要的话，它还提供了一个 chrome 应用程序和扩展。


在 StackEdit 上导入/导出文件也很容易。如果你需要在你的服务器上托管它，你可以看看它在 [GitHub](https://github.com/benweet/stackedit) 上的源代码，了解更多细节。

#### 2、Dillinger


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003433n9h960ucxu22v6uz.jpg)


Dillinger 也是一个有趣的开源在线 Markdown 编辑器。与 StackEdit 类似，你也可以与 Dropbox、GitHub、Medium、Google Drive、Bitbucket 和 OneDrive 链接并保存文件。


你也可以选择在需要时简单地导入/导出文件。Dillinger 的用户界面比你在 StackEdit 上看到的更简单，但它也可以工作。与 StackEdit 不同的是，你没有 LaTeX 表达式或图表的 Markdown 扩展支持，如果你只是需要一个简单的在线 Markdown 编辑器，这是一个不错的选择。


如果你需要，你可以选择将它部署在服务器上的 Docker 容器中。关于它的更多技术细节，你不妨看看它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/joemccann/dillinger)。

#### 3、[Write.as](http://Write.as)


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003449zy4aeumih4pdbpud.jpg)


[Write.as](http://Write.as) 基于该团队开发的自由开源软件 [WriteFreely](https://writefreely.org/)，所以如果你愿意的话，你可以简单地把它托管在自己的服务器上免费使用它。


你也可以使用 [Write.as](http://Write.as) 服务作为一个具有基本功能的免费在线 Markdown 编辑器。为了使它发挥最大的作用，你可能想选购一份付费订阅。付费的功能包括自定义主题、新闻通讯、照片托管和多个博客等等。


它支持 Markdown，可以让 [Mastodon](https://itsfoss.com/mastodon-open-source-alternative-twitter/)、[ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub) 和 [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/) 上的任何人轻松关注和分享你的博客文章。


你可以在它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/writeas/writefreely)上探索更多关于 WriteFreely 的信息，或者使用 [Write.as](http://Write.as) 开始。

#### 4、[Editor.md](http://Editor.md)


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003521l2x5aahgis6phyy8.jpg)


这是一个有趣的开源 Markdown 编辑器，还可以嵌入到自己的网页上。


它支持实时预览、GitHub 风格的 Markdown，它有一个所见即所得的编辑器以及一堆有用的功能。除了基本的 Markdown 支持外，它还支持表情符、LaTeX 表达式、流程图等。


你也可以选择自己托管，更多信息请看它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/pandao/editor.md)。

#### 5、CodiMD


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003552mfhjsh0149ahmqa1.png)


CodiMD 从一开始就不是一个成熟的在线服务。但是，它是一个开源项目，通过托管在服务器上，你可以实时协作文档或笔记。


它基于 [HackMD](https://hackmd.io/) 的源代码，并提供了一个[演示实例](https://demo.codimd.org/)来提供测试。我个人很喜欢它还提供了一个黑暗模式，而且很容易使用。


对于它未来的发布版本（在写这篇文章的时候），它将改名为 “HedgeDoc”。


你可以在它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/codimd/server)上找到所有关于通过 Docker/Kubernetes 在服务器上部署它的相关信息以及其他手动配置选项。

#### 6、[Wri.pe](http://Wri.pe)


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003622iem2etmm9ghzxuz2.jpg)


[Wri.pe](http://Wri.pe) 是一款简单的开源在线 Markdown 编辑器，虽然已经不再维护，但它仍然活着而且可用。


它的特点是实时预览和可以导出或保存你的笔记到 Dropbox/Evernote。考虑到它没有积极维护，你可能不会依赖它，但当我测试它时，它和预期一样可以工作。


你可以看看它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/masuidrive/open-wripe)或官方网站来了解更多关于它的信息。

### 附带提名


下面是一些提供 Markdown 访问的工具。


#### Markdown Web Dingus


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003649e9k2kkifzpkkkk9z.jpg)


这是由 Markdown 语言的创造者提供的一个简单而免费的在线 Markdown 编辑器。它并不是一个成熟的在线编辑器，也不支持导入/导出，


但是，如果你只是想要一个在线编辑器来预览你的 Markdown 代码，这可能是一个不错的选择。不仅仅局限于编辑器，你还可以在网站的侧边栏得到一个语法速查表。所以，你也可以在这里尝试和学习。


* [Markdown Web Dingus](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus)


#### Markdown Journal


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003720hssx8pyf9dxzoxxd.jpg)


[Markdown Journal](https://markdownjournal.com/) 是 [GitHub](https://github.com/maciakl/MarkdownJournal) 上的一个有趣的开源项目，但已经停止开发了。你可以通过它的在线编辑器使用 Markdown 语言创建日记，并直接保存在你的 Dropbox 账户上。当我试图创建日志时，我注意到发生了内部服务器错误，但你可以了解一下它。


#### Etherpad


![](/data/attachment/album/202009/18/003749vm8d3j3fjf8lrg07.png)


[Etherpad](https://etherpad.org/) 是另一个令人印象深刻的开源在线编辑器，但它并没有开箱即用的 Markdown 支持。你可能会注意到通过一些插件可以在你的服务器上启用 Markdown 编辑，但还不够完美。所以，你可能要注意一点。它有一个[公共实例](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Sites-that-run-Etherpad-Lite)的列表，也可以尝试一下。


### 总结


考虑到很多在线编辑器、CMS 和记事本服务都支持 Markdown，如果你想把它发布到网站上，像 [WordPress](https://wordpress.com/) 这样的服务/应用也是一个不错的选择。


你更喜欢用哪个 Markdown 编辑器？我是否错过了你最喜欢的东西？请在下面的评论中告诉我。

OK
[Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) is a useful lightweight [markup language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language) and a lot of people prefer for writing documentation or web publishing. Many of us at It’s FOSS use markdown for writing our articles.

There are [several Markdown editors available for Linux](https://itsfoss.com/best-markdown-editors-linux/) that you can install and use.

But, what if you don’t want to install another program on your system? Perhaps you are using a system temporarily and cannot install an application. Maybe you just want a markdown editor that lets you collaborate in real time?

No matter what you require, online markdown editors make a lot of things easy by providing collaboration features, publishing integration, note synchronization, and some online-only features.

Hence, I’ve compiled a list of the best online markdown editors.

## Free Online Markdown Editors

I have tried to keep the focus on online markdown editor with open source code. You may use the official website or deploy them on your server.

**Note: ***The list is in no particular order of ranking.*

### 1. StackEdit

![Stackedit Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/stackedit-screenshot.png)

[StackEdit](https://itsfoss.com/stackedit-markdown-editor/) is one of the most popular open-source online Markdown editors available.

It provides a great user interface and offers a bunch of useful features. The ability to collaborate, synchronizing capability, and being able to publish/save your files to Blogger, WordPress, GitHub, and a couple of other services are some key features that you get with StackEdit.

Not to forget, you also get extended markdown support with some extensions available to support LaTeX mathematical expressions, UML diagrams, and more. It presents a [WYSIWYG editor](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-wysiwyg-editors/) that makes it easy for you to work with Markdown. It also works offline and offers a chrome app and extension — if that’s your requirement.

It’s easy to import/export files on StackEdit as well. You can take a look at its source code on [GitHub](https://github.com/benweet/stackedit) for more details if you need to host it on your server.

### 2. Dillinger

![Dillinger Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/dillinger-screenshot.jpg)

Dillinger is yet another interesting open-source online Markdown editor. Similar to StackEdit, you also get the ability to link and save the documents with Dropbox, GitHub, Medium, Google Drive, Bitbucket, and OneDrive.

You can also choose to simply import/export files when needed. The user interface for Dillinger is simpler than what you get on StackEdit — but it gets the job intended. Unlike StackEdit, you may not get extended Markdown support with LaTeX expressions or diagrams but if you just need simple online Markdown editor, this is a good pick.

If you need, you can choose to deploy it in a Docker container on your server. For more technical details on it, you might want to check out its [GitHub page](https://github.com/joemccann/dillinger).

### 3. Write.as

![Write As Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/write-as-screenshot.jpg)

Write.as is based on the free and open source software [WriteFreely](https://writefreely.org/), developed by the same team. So you can simply host it on your own server and start using it for free if you want.

You can also use Write.as service as a free online Markdown editor with basic features. To make the most out of it, you may want to choose a subscription. Some paid features include custom themes, newsletters, photo hosting, and multiple blogs.

It supports Markdown and also lets anyone on [Mastodon](https://itsfoss.com/mastodon-open-source-alternative-twitter/), [ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub), and [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/) to follow and share your blog posts easily.

You can explore more about WriteFreely on its [GitHub page](https://github.com/writeas/writefreely) or get started using Write.as.

### 4. Editor.md

![Editor Md Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/editor-md-screenshot.jpg)

An interesting open-source Markdown editor that you can also embed on your own web pages if you require.

It supports real-time preview, GitHub flavored markdown, and also presents a WYSIWYG editor along with a bunch of useful features. In addition to the basic Markdown support, it also supports emojis, LaTeX expressions, Flowchart, and more.

You can choose to configure your own by hosting it yourself as well. Take a look at its [GitHub page](https://github.com/pandao/editor.md) for more information.

### 5. CodiMD

![Codimd](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/codiMD.png)

CodiMD isn’t available as a full-fledged online service from the get-go. But, it is an open-source project that lets you collaborate on documentations or notes in real-time by giving you the ability to host it on your server.

It’s based on [HackMD](https://hackmd.io/)‘s source code and offers a [demo instance](https://demo.codimd.org/) to test it out. Personally, I like the fact that it also offers a dark mode and it’s easy to use.

For its future release (at the time of writing this), it will be renamed as “**HedgeDoc**“.

You can find all the relevant information on deploying it on your server through Docker/Kubernetes and other manual configuration options on its [GitHub page](https://github.com/codimd/server).

### 6. Wri.pe

![Wri Pe Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/wri-pe-screenshot.jpg)

Wri.pe is a simple open-source online Markdown editor that’s no longer maintained but it is still active and usable.

It features real-time preview and the options to export or save your notes to Dropbox/Evernote. Considering that it’s not actively maintained — you may not rely on it but it works as expected when I tested it.

You can take a look at its [GitHub page](https://github.com/masuidrive/open-wripe) or the official site to learn more about it.

## Honorable Mentions

Here are a few tools that provide markdown access.

### Markdown Web Dingus

![Markdown Web Dingus](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/markdown-web-dingus.jpg)

A simple and free online Markdown editor by the creator of Markdown language. It’s not a full-fledged online editor with integrations or that supports import/export.

But, if you just want an online editor to get a preview for your Markdown source, this could be a great option to use. Not just limited to the editor, but you also get a syntax cheatsheet in the sidebar of the website. So, you can try and learn here as well.

### Markdown Journal

![Markdown Journal](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/markdown-journal.jpg)

[Markdown Journal](https://markdownjournal.com/) was an interesting open-source project on [GitHub](https://github.com/maciakl/MarkdownJournal) which has been discontinued. It gave you the ability to use its online editor to create journals using Markdown language and save them directly on your Dropbox account. I noticed Internal Server error when I tried to create a journal — but you can take a look at it.

### Etherpad

![Etherpad Public Instance](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/etherpad-public-instance.png)

[Etherpad](https://etherpad.org/) is yet another impressive open-source online editor but it doesn’t come with Markdown support out of the box. You might notice some plugins available to enable Markdown editing on your server — but that’s not something that works flawlessly yet. So, you might want to keep an eye out for it. There’s a list of [public instances](https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Sites-that-run-Etherpad-Lite) to try it out as well.

## Wrapping Up

Considering that a lot of online editors, CMSs, and note-taking services support Markdown, services/applications like [WordPress](https://wordpress.com/) can also be a good option if you want to publish it to the web.

Which one do you prefer to use as a Markdown editor? Did I miss any of your favorites? Let me know in the comments below!
