osvdit

osvdit is an open-source web-based editor and renderer for Markdown content. It is designed to be embedded in web applications to provide editing capabilities and real-time preview of Markdown documents, allowing users to write and format text within a single interface.

The project is implemented as a client-side library, primarily in JavaScript (with TypeScript usage in some builds), and runs entirely in the browser. It exposes an API and a configurable user interface that can be integrated into existing front-end frameworks or plain web pages. The architecture emphasizes modularity and extensibility, enabling optional plugins or extensions.

Key features typically provided by osvdit include live preview synchronized with the editor, support for standard Markdown syntax, a toolbar or keyboard shortcuts for common formatting, and the ability to customize themes and behavior. It is designed to be lightweight and fast, with performance considerations for large documents and frequent edits. The project also supports extendable parsing and rendering to accommodate plugins or custom Markdown flavors.

osvdit is maintained by an open-source community and released under a permissive license. Development relies on public issue trackers and contribution workflows, encouraging community involvement. The project adheres to common best practices for web-based tools, including accessibility considerations and responsive design for use in diverse environments.
