Are you an open educator or publisher looking for a quick and easy way to publish and share Markdown content? :rocket:

I’m looking to assist 2-3 people or teams over the next few months in fully leveraging the open-source project https://Docsify-This.net as part of a user research study.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reply here or send me a message - I’d love to chat to learn more!

I encourage anyone curious to reach out to Paul.

He has a very elegant flexible tool for publishing online content with many options for display. And Docsify-This is a means to have multiple locations of your content be updated instantly from a source. AND,… it can be embedded within many Learning Management Systems. Paul will be en excellent guide.

Paul’s examples are much better than mine- I use it to for a few of my WordPress themes - The example sites listed under “See The TRU Collector in Action” is displayed with Docsify-This, as is the Installation instructions and the theme documentation. And I even have the WordPress theme include the documentation embedded in its options … using Docsify-This. The beauty is I can update all the documentation from its Markdown source repository, and all the links are updated.

Depending on your needs, you might be interested in also exploring Latex (a cross-platform format for displaying mathematical formulas using plain text) which is supported in many Markdown offerings - including Docsify-This.

For example:
GitHub’s LaTeX Support Examples Markdown file, displayed by Docsify-This as a Web Page with an ‘Edit this Page’ link.

There are also online visual Latex editors, for example:

I’ve used Latex with our LMS and figured out how to do put random numebrs in fractions with it :wink:

Thanks Paul, you got there quickly! I am noting that the Discourse editor on this site, while using Markdown, does not have the LaTex support. See also the GitHub docs on support for Writing Mathematical Expressions.

And Equation Editor is amazing! That’s a worth sharing link.
