write-down v0.2.0

write-down

A lightweight markdown editor web component.

• No markdown library dependency - use your choice to render
• No codemirror
• Works with React, Vue, Angular, and Plain JS.

write-down is based on Pagedown, Misbehave and Prism.js, and build using Stencil

• SimpleMDE, Editor.md are fullfledged editors based on Codemirror, quite large in size
