Django-markdown-editor

This Django package delivers a production-ready markdown editor that transforms text input into a powerful content creation experience. Built on the Ace editor engine, it provides developers with a drop-in solution for adding markdown editing capabilities to any Django project without building from scratch.

The editor combines real-time preview functionality with advanced features including syntax highlighting for code blocks, drag-and-drop image uploads through Imgur API, and emoji support. It seamlessly integrates with both Bootstrap and Semantic UI frameworks, ensuring consistent styling with your existing design system.

Unlike basic textarea replacements, this editor includes a comprehensive toolbar with formatting shortcuts, split-screen editing mode, and full-screen composition view. The package handles both the frontend JavaScript components and backend Django integration, including form fields and model fields for storing markdown content.

With built-in security features like XSS protection and configurable markdown extensions support through Python-Markdown, developers can deploy a secure, feature-rich content editor while maintaining full control over allowed HTML tags and markdown syntax options.
