Spell and Grammar Check for Markdown

Series: Awesome Tips about Markdown

Spelling/Grammar Check

There is no good (online) Markdown editor that we can do spelling/grammar check the preview (online), fix the preview and sync the change back to markdown source. (spelling/grammar check doesn’t work well with markdown source, due to the extra syntax used by markdown.)

Atom

Check text in Atom when we are wiring in the Atom Editor
- Atom can detect some errors Grammarly can’t: like mixed cases: ABle
- Cmd+Shift+; to open the suggestion and fix the error.

app.grammarly.com

We can copy the markdown there and fix the spell and grammar error, but due to the extra syntax of markdown, Grammarly can’t find some errors which it usually can.
We can then copy the output (from Markdown enhanced preview in Atom) there and find the error and fix them in the markdown source file.

Grammarly Extension

Add contenteditable="true" to div(div class="post-outer" in blogger) to make Grammarly work anywhere.
