Usage

In Atom open your Markdown file. Afterwards you can do any of the following:

  • use the Package tab, access elearn.js and convert to either html or pdf
  • Right-Click in the editor window and choose elearn.js - to HTML or elearn.js - to PDF
  • you can also use Save as... in the menus described above to select an output location
  • Convert with hotkeys:
    • To HTML: ctrl-alt-o
    • To PDF: ctrl-alt-p

All locations will be stored by their output type and the markdown file and will only be overwritten when Save as... (described above) is used.

Markdown syntax is supported based on Showdown's features. If you want to use specific elearn.js features check the extended documentation.
