Have you ever found yourself working on a project wiki that was intended for consumption by teams of developers, while using a wiki or documentation format that makes copy-and-paste code snippets difficult? (For example, quotes in code snippets automatically converted to “smart quotes”, which don't do anybody any good.) With Markdown, all you have to do to identify something as code is to indent it. So citing code is just like writing it.
I love GitHub's Markdown-based wikis, and use them regularly. But sometimes you might find yourself working on a project that's not hosted on GitHub, and you wish you had the same Markdown-based wiki editing functionality. With this project, you can have it. (And in the sad case of moving a repo away from GitHub, now you can take your Wiki with you!)
MarkdownWiki is a free, lightweight alternative to Github Wikis (which are awesome). You are cordially invited to participate in its improvement and customization.
This project uses
- MarkdownSharp, the open-source Markdown library created by Jeff Atwood for Stack Overflow.
- ASP.NET MVC 4
- Twitter Bootstrap
