hi, guys

This is a little markdown editor I made some weeks back for myself,
but over the weekend I updated and added new things it very basic to
use just like notepad so you easy get the hang of it. it got a lot of
features the only one feature it lacks and I would of liked to add is
a preview of the markdown that been editor but was not sure how to
implant it. anyway I uploaded to GitHub since I not had time to update
my website hope it maybe useful for someone.

Not to critic it, but how is it better than CudaText with Markdown
lexer?

Hello!

Nice little tool. I will use it.

Please consider to add Linux compatibility, even like this (for
example):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
Tfrmmain.mnuGotoClick(Sender: TObject);// ...    {$IFDEF WINDOWS}   
//Get line index    RetVal := SendMessage(txtEd.Handle, EM_LINEINDEX,
lnIndex - 1, 0);    //Get line length    lnLen :=
SendMessage(txtEd.Handle, EM_LINELENGTH, RetVal, 0) + 2;   
//highlight the line    txtEd.SelStart := RetVal;    txtEd.SelLength
:= lnLen;    {$ENDIF}
Until you find an equivalent for these commands.

A little thing I noticed. When I type Shift+h, it inserts an
hyperlink.

Thanks for the info Roland57 glad you like my project. I now updated
the source of the goto and it should work on Linux as it does not need
the windows send message anymore, I also removed windows from the
uses, I also fixed the ctrl+h problem, I am just tweaking around with
the code and should be-able to upload to night so check back.

Simple editor. Nice project.

Some observations:

- Modern editors use multiple windows editors tabs.
- Some colored text will helpful like Notepad++ do.
- Some code completion will be glad.
- Use a better name for units in your code (Not Unit1, Unit2, ...)
- Include binary files in Github.


Greetings
