Try the markdown HTTP (JSON) API running on Heroku trykramdown.herokuapp.com.

Note: If you see an Application Error on Heroku. Sorry. It means "Free app running time quota exhausted". Please, check back in a day (or use $ kramup to run the service on your local machine). Thanks.

To start your own local version on your own machine use the bundled command line tool called kramup.

Step 0 - Install the gem e.g.

$ gem install kramdown-service

Step 1 - Start the server / service e.g.

$ kramup

Step 2 - Open up the editor page in your browser e.g. use http://localhost:4567.

That's it.

Example 1 - Converting to Hypertext (HTML):

Example 2 - Converting to LaTeX:

GET /markdown?text=Hello+World!&to=latex

Hello World!
