What is your article writing workflow?
-
... me, I'm still searching for one. I don't like using the article writing tool from scratch because I write slowly and revise a lot. I am quite happy with writing my drafts using Markdown in VSCode but when it comes to importing them in CP tool, there is no easy way to do it. The "Markdown All in One" extension in VSCode has some kind of "export to HTML" function but it doesn't play nice with CP styles specially for code formatting. Is there a way to import directly markdown in CP? Do you have other insights how to make writing/editing easier?

Have you considered using the downloadable template CodeProject Submission Template[^]?
Yes, I have that one but writing in HTML is painful or I haven't found a good HTML editor.

I liked Editpad a lot when working with HTML some years ago. I stopped using it in 2017 though, so I do not know how the current versions will be.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm always happy to post the article for you, as an option.

Thank you Sean, I know you guys are super-nice. What I was looking for were suggestions for an workflow that allows me to keep the content in a more user-friendly format than HTML. In the meantime, I'll keep muddling along :)

I know thisa is a bit old, however, for those interested in using Markdown, I use Markdown Monster: The Markdown Editor for Windows[^] to write my article, then use the copy option that can copy as html, paste into CP source page, then clean it up.

Interesting... Do you have to clean up many things?

I've written some fairly long articles entirely within the tool, occasionally switching to its HTML mode (mostly for tables). I just do a lot of saves and previews. It teaches them a lesson by busying out their server! :-D

Been a little while since my last article. Mainly the code block markup is different.

Well... that sounds like something pretty manageable

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.I wrote mine in Notepad with the HTML Tags per hand. Then used the preview and modified the Notepad version before select all+copy+paste+preview again. Have been a while though... I am not sure if I would now have the same patience :-D

I'd like to write my first article. Using HTML looks painful. Does anyone have any info on CP accepting Markdown? Graeme Markdown Monster looks nice. - Please clarify "copy option". Do you mean "Save as HTML"? - Please clarify "paste into CP source page". Do you mean the codeproject_template.htm? or the submission wizard page?

If you send me the Markdown version, I can help you get it posted. sean@codeproject.com
