## What it is
Editor.md is an open-source embeddable online Markdown editor component built on CodeMirror, jQuery, and Marked. It provides real-time preview, image upload, syntax highlighting, and Markdown extras like ToC, Emoji, KaTeX formulas, flowcharts, and sequence diagrams.

## Use cases
- embed a markdown editor in a web page
- add live preview markdown editing to a CMS
- let users write documentation with markdown in the browser
- render markdown with katex formulas and flowcharts
- build a comment or article editor with image upload
- convert markdown to html in a form

## When to choose
- you need a jQuery-based embeddable markdown editor with live preview
- you want markdown extras like ToC, emoji, task lists, KaTeX, and diagrams out of the box
- you must support legacy browsers like IE8 or Zepto.js

## When to avoid
- you use a modern framework like React or Vue and prefer a native component
- you want an actively developed editor with recent maintenance
- you need a dependency-free or jQuery-free solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: editor, markdown, ui-components, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, text-editors, documentation
