Django Markdownx is a markdown editor built for Django.

It is simply an extension of the Django's Textarea widget made for editing Markdown with a live preview and image uploads. It supports uploading images (stored locally in `MEDIA_ROOT` folder! yay!) with drag&drop functionality and auto tag insertion. Also, django-markdownx supports multiple editors on one page.

Template is highly customizable, so you can easily use i.e. Bootstrap to layout editor pane and preview pane side by side (as in preview animation below).

*Side note: Just to keep it simple, all UI editing controls are unwelcome – this is Markdown editor not a web MS Word imitation.*

# Quick Start

1. Install `django-markdownx` package.

    ```python
    pip install django-markdownx
    ```


1. Add `markdownx` to your `INSTALLED_APPS`.

    ```python
    #settings.py
    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        [...]
        'markdownx',
    )
    ```

1. Add url pattern to your `urls.py`.

    ```python
    #urls.py
    urlpatterns = [
        [...]
        url(r'^markdownx/', include('markdownx.urls')),
    ]
    ```

1. Collect included `markdownx.js` and `markdownx.css` (for django admin styling) to your `STATIC_ROOT` folder.

    ```python
    python manage.py collectstatic
    ```

1. ...and don't forget to include jQuery in your html file.

    ```html
    <head>
        [...]
        <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    ```

# Usage

## Model

```python
#models.py
from markdownx.models import MarkdownxField

class MyModel(models.Model):

    myfield = MarkdownxField()
```

...and then, include a form's required media in the template using `{{ form.media }}`:

```html
<form method="POST" action="">{% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
</form>
{{ form.media }}
```

## Form

```python
#forms.py
from markdownx.fields import MarkdownxFormField

class MyForm(forms.Form):

    myfield = MarkdownxFormField()
```

...and then, include a form's required media in the template using `{{ form.media }}`:

```html
<form method="POST" action="">{% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
</form>
{{ form.media }}
```

## Django Admin

When using included `MarkdowxModel` class in your models, just use `MarkdownxModelAdmin` as follows:

```python
#admin.py
from django.contrib import admin

from markdownx.admin import MarkdownxModelAdmin

from .models import MyModel

admin.site.register(MyModel, MarkdownxModelAdmin)
```

However, when you want to use `markdownx` with other classes – lets say `TextField` – than override default widget as below:

```python
#admin.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib import admin

from markdownx.widgets import AdminMarkdownxWidget

from .models import MyModel

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.TextField: {'widget': AdminMarkdownxWidget},
    }

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
```


# Customization

## Settings

Place settings in your `settings.py` to override default values:

```python
#settings.py
MARKDOWNX_MARKDOWN_EXTENSIONS = []
MARKDOWNX_MEDIA_PATH = 'markdownx/' # subdirectory, where images will be stored in MEDIA_ROOT folder
MARKDOWNX_UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE = 52428800 # 50MB
MARKDOWNX_UPLOAD_CONTENT_TYPES = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png']
MARKDOWNX_IMAGE_MAX_SIZE = {'size': (500, 500), 'quality': 90,}
MARKDOWNX_EDITOR_RESIZABLE = True # update editor's height to inner content height while typing
```

**NOTE:** `MARKDOWNX_IMAGE_MAX_SIZE` dict properties:

* **size** – (width, height). When `0` used, i.e.: (500,0),  property will figure out proper height by itself
* **quality** – default: `90` – image quality, from `0` (full compression) to `100` (no compression)
* **crop** – default: `False` – if `True` use `size` to crop final image
* **upscale** – default: `False` – if image dimensions are smaller than those in `size`, upscale image to `size` dimensions

## Widget's template

Default widget's template looks like:

```html
<div class="markdownx">
    {{ markdownx_editor }}
    <div class="markdownx-preview"></div>
</div>
```

When you want to use Bootstrap 3 and side-by-side panes (as in preview image above), just place `templates/markdownx/widget.html` file in your project with:

```html
<div class="markdownx row">
    <div class="col-md-6">
        {{ markdownx_editor }}
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <div class="markdownx-preview"></div>
    </div>
</div>
```
