I gather there is also a Github-flavored Markdown plugin for Sublime Text's newer versions, although why anyone would want to pay $70 for such a fundamental capability as text editing is beyond me. Were that true, it would be trivial to modify Mou for Github-flavored Markdown - but, regrettably, on examining the app bundle's contents, I find this appears not to be the case.Ĭovering what I understand to be the popular OS X editors, TextMate can apparently be made to support Github-flavored Markdown.

I had hoped the Mou developer would show the good sense of implementing a reasonably general parser which could accept a language specification, in order that his code could eventually support more dialects of Markdown than just the canonical one. There is nothing you can do in any other text editor which you can't do in Emacs, often more quickly and efficiently the trade-off is that, depending on your purpose, you will first need to spend anywhere from several days to several years first acquiring expertise in the use of Emacs.)

It isn't so much a text editor, as a virtual Lisp machine in which has been implemented a text editor whose conventions are quite unlike those of any other such tool Emacs in fact has its own standard library, which in the current release (version 24.3, March 2013), weighs in at 172M of source. (If you don't use Emacs, you're probably not well advised to pick it up just for this sole purpose. If you use Emacs, markdown-mode.el offers a mode for Github-flavored Markdown.
