  • 0

I’ve been trying to create a client side editor which allows the end user to create content in html or markdown. The user has two tabs for switching between the two. I managed to find some javascript that converts markdown to html, so if a user has been writing markdown and switches to the html tab, the html equivilant is shown. I haven’t been able to find a javascript that converts html to markdown, only a python script.

The python script is obviously server side. The tabs are just hyperlinks with script in there. Is there any way I can convert the markdown html when the user clicks the tab?

    You only have to send the data to the server using AJAX, perform the conversion on the server and then return the results back to the browser. In jQuery this is as simple as e.g.:

    $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: <converter url>,
    data: <html>
    success: function(markdown_text){
        $('#id_container').text(markdown_text);
    }
    error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
             alert('Error!');
    }
});
