Are there any free portable apps, either on this site or elsewhere, that support editing in Markdown, and can export/copy the Markdown in HTML within the app itself? Live preview is preferred but not essential. Thanks!

I was just looking for this myself, and came across MarkdownPad, which offers a portable version: http://markdownpad.com/faq.html#portable
Maybe if enough people asked nicely, the author might be willing to supply a PortableApps-compliant package?
Could someone create a PortableApps format for those?
I really think it could be very useful for developers.
Any chance to get a MarkDown Editor with MathJaX support in the PortableApps suite?
It is really something crucial this days.
Thank You.
While it may be crucial for a very small niche of people, it's still a very small niche of people. If someone would like to take the reigns on it, they are welcome, of course.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
John,
As a developer, don't you use MarkDown Editor?
It seems the least capable MarkDown Editor out there is included in PortableApps.
I just wish for something more decent.
Thank You.
Personally, I don't use markdown. I write HTML.

Hi,
The ReText developers created a portable version (PortableApps Style) version of ReText:
https://github.com/retext-project/ReTextPortable
ReText is a great lightweight MarkDown Editor.
It would be great to have it on board:
https://github.com/retext-project/retext
Thank You.
A proper Development Test is available here: https://portableapps.com/node/56132
M Wayne, You're amazing!
Notepad++ has a plugin to which you may download which supports Markdown editing. It's a simple plugin for simple needs. It allows you to edit the file and view a live version of it in real time. It's the one I use, but for more complex stuff I just go to https://stackedit.io/ which will save your files for you on your next return visit.

Try ReText by mwayne, it is superior to both.
It really should become the official MarkDown Editor of the suite (The current offering, CureMarkEd is really "weak").
I might check it out but I'm completely biased when it comes to Notepad++. I love that program perpetually. It's just a wonderful oldschool throwback in comparison to bloated editors like Brackets, Sublime, etc. I will admit though, I've replaced my default Windows Notepad with a variant of the Notepad2 editor (the one with NSIS support) and I'm very pleased with it too.

The Notepad++, as far as I know, doesn't have MathJaX / LaTeX support.
So it doesn't offer the featured of fully capable Markdown Editor.
