Developing

All make rules build debug versions by default. Production versions can be built with MDLIVE_BUILD=prod

| Make Command | Usage | :-- | :-- | make web | build webserver | make app | build electron app | make watch-web | build webserver & watch for changes | make watch-app | build electron app & watch for changes | make lint | lint codebase | make lintfix | lint codebase & fix automatically fixable issues

To run the electron app, use

electron dist/dev/electron

The electron app runs with auto-restart on change when in dev mode. To get the same behavior on the webserver, It is suggested to run it with nodemon, i.e.

nodemon -w dist/dev/web/ dist/dev/web/bin/mdlive

Configuration

Markdown styles can be configured with a user-markdown.css file, which will be added to the head of all markdown documents. This file is in the user's configuration directory.

| Platform | Config Directory | :-- | :-- | Linux | ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/sangria, or if not set, ~/.config/sangria | macOS | ~/Library/Preferences/sangria | Windows | ~/AppData/sangria

e.g. on Linux, the file would be at ~/.config/sangria/user-markdown.css

If $HOME is unset on Linux or macOS, /var/local/sangria will be used instead.
