# DownmarkerWPF

[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/8nyixeikl67jh305/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/shiftkey/downmarkerwpf/branch/master)

This codebase contains the [DownmarkerWPF](http://code52.org/DownmarkerWPF/) project, by [Code52](http://code52.org/)

## About DownmarkerWPF

MarkPad (formerly known as DownmarkerWPF) is an editor for [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) - a widely used syntax for formatting plain text to convert to blogs, comments, and in other places like on [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/).

Our aim is to create a useably, stylish new version of the project utilising Microsoft's WPF technology to provide a fresh UI for creating files that we can use to create blog posts for this, and other blogs using Markdown.
