Installing Markdown on OSX and use it inside VIM
Back again to one of my favorites which is called Markdown. Once every now and then i forget how easy it is. Normally i use Textmate to do all my writing, but recently i have picked up VIM to do some editing etc. Why i did chose VIM? I will not trouble you with that decision :)
Using Textmate everything is easy, but when you want to use Markdown inside VIM it is somewhat different. But anything is different when using VIM :)
Steps
- download Markdown from - The home of Markdown, It’s usual place as this is a Perl script you need to put it somewhere so OSX is able to execute it.
- start your terminal and create a directory inside
usr/local/bin
- extract the downloaded file and put the
Markdown.pl file * inside the user/local/bin directory
- inside the terminal chmod the
Markdown.pl to 777
- using the Installing Markdown as OSX Service creates a service to use Markdown
- You are done… :)
