+
+Features
+
+StrapDown.js is already pretty advanced, as you can see by yourself with this very page (powered by StrapDown.js of course).
+
+
+-
+Directly write your documents in Markdown, and let the browser do the boring compilation steps,
+- no need for CSS, theming or painful styling: StrapDown.js is already friggin' beautiful, and responsive,
+-
+quick and secure, thanks to GitHub and their great SSL support. Note : You can also use https://cdn.rawgit.com/Naereen/StrapDown.js/master/strapdown.min.js to load the script from a quick and secure (HTTPS-aware) CDN.
+- comes with many examples: first, second, third, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th...
+- an almost perfect support for text-only browsers (as w3m, links, or elinks): pure Markdown is simpler to read than complicated HTML full of javascript, images (or worse),
+- no external dependencies other than itself (and MathJax if you want to include it),
+- no spying, no logging, no external leaking of your pages (and Google Analytics with a 1px beacon image can be included with an option,
+- an excellent support of MathJax, as shown in this example or that one,
+- and, the last but not the least, an experimental embedding of the awesome SquirtFR bookmarklet to read as quickly as Lucky Luke.
+
+
+
+Drawbacks?
+
+But there is also have a few things you need to know before using it:
+
+
+- It might get slow for very long pages, even if a 3000-line document is handled very well and quickl (you can test by yourself with this long document),
+- a reduced support for browsers without javascript or with javascript disabled (the pages are still readable, but really ugly),
+- hosted on GitHub and served by rawgit, which are wonderful but might not be always available.
+
+
+
+Concretely
+
+Concretely, GitHub is always up, secured and quick (oooh, and it is also awesome, completely free, and awesome too). Yeah, is it so awesome that I had to say it twice, you read it correctly!
+
+But if you prefer, feel free to download the project (with StrapDown.js.zip) and upload it somewhere on your own server, or locally on your machine.
+
+As the script is hosted on GitHub, it can be loaded quickly and securely from cdn.rawgit.com: https://cdn.rawgit.com/Naereen/StrapDown.js/master/strapdown.min.js!
+
+
+
+A quick "thank you" to the initial project
+
+
+My version of StrapDown.js is a fork of strapdownjs.com, a cool project that kinda seems dead by now.
