Challenge Overview
Challenge Objectives
-
Spark, coded in Javascript
-
This challenge will implement new Markdown functionality for selecting text and copying it to the clipboard.
Project Background
-
Sparkdown is a Markdown renderer that targets Spark
-
Spark: http://pxscene.org/
-
Markdown description: https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/
-
- The existing code is here:
- https://github.com/pxscene/pxCore���
- Javascript files for Markdown are here: https://github.com/pxscene/pxscene/tree/gh-pages/mime
- NOTE: The mime_*.js files in Github are deprecated. Look at the view*.js files instead.
- You may have to host the MIME files locally and update the initialization code to use the local copy instead of the pxscene.org files.
-
Using the macOS application available on pxscene.org, you can drag and drop a markdown file into Spark and it will render as expected. Note that the default build opens a markdown file when first opening as well.
