I've probably wasted many months searching and still haven't found any working (on mobile) markdown editor / web-component.
I tried:
- codemirror 5 (space-bar somehow closes keyboard on android?!)
- codeflask (weird spacing between normal and highlighted text)
- monaco (sadly doesn't work on mobile)
- probably some more but mostly trying to fix those 3
What I'm looking for is simple inline input / web-component, which can highlight markdown-syntax that works on mobile.
So **bold** would be highlighted (and maybe also bolded, but still have the asterisks visible).
I hope somebody here has found / is using some component like this

I would try the markdown editor or remarkable if you haven't. It seems to be close to what you want and seems to work on mobile. That is the best I know of.
Looking at this
markdown editorI saw that it has those requirementsI don't have or will use PHP for that 😅, but that editor uses inside these, which I'll also take a look, thanks!:
Markdown to HTML RendererWhile looking at
RemarkableI saw Breakdance (a HTML to Markdown converter) , maybe I'll just use this on an element withcontenteditableand then get the markdown back .... so many ways to an awesome markdown-editor-component 😄This should be a thing that would be fairly simple to write in JavaScript I would think, if I understand your use.
Yes!! :) That was kinda my goal having a simple editor that has markdown highlights or just an editable element. (which then returns markdown)
I tried a different HTML-to-Markdown Converter in the last months but I'll try a 2nd approach using
Breakdanceso fingers crossedGood luck!
