which wmd-editor repository to use

I read that the original wmd-editor is no longer maintained so there was an effort to reverse engineer it, hosted on github. However this version is not ready because it references a number of undefined functions, for example:

processHeadings is not defined /static/js/lib/plugins/wmd/showdown.js Line 66

There is also a version on Google Code, but the repository is empty.

Does anyone know if there is a successful reverse engineering attempt of wmd-editor with a publicly accessible repository?

+3 A:

The derobbins version is the version I believe most people are using (and the one used here on Stack Overflow).

There are also a number of forks off of the derobbins version that add some additional functionality (ajax loading for example) or other fixes if you're interested, including mine (MarkEdit) which is a jQuery re-write of the interface side of WMD editor to add customization and a public API.

Awesome! I am using JQuery for the rest of my JavaScript, so is it worth using your fork instead?

If you like jQuery it's certainly worth looking into. MarkEdit is easily less mature than wmd-editor original, and it has some opinions though which you may or may not like (such as using themeroller CSS). There's a live demo up if you wanted to try it out before spending time reading the wiki.

_{Updating as per 2010-02.}

Take a look at the wmd-new fork, the Stack Overflow fork and one of the most active branchs (from this meta post).
