I can really use this... thank you!

From the github: "kokoi watches for changes on the markup files (Markdown, Textile, reStructuredText...) in the directory kokoi is started, and if they change, automatically reprocesses and previews them directly in the browser. You will work on your files without having to leave your favorite text editor!"

Take a feature request? Could you add Emacs Org-mode as a format? Org-mode is a markup format similar to Markdown. Emacs, with org-mode, is a powerful authoring tool and outliner. It is a popular markup format with Emacs users.

Pandoc is able to output .org files but I am not certain if it can read org-mode as an input.

Pandoc doesn't read org file. However I just tried another converter, org-ruby, and it worked, here's the command:

  kokoi -e org -c "org-ruby --translate html"

Thank you for your suggestion! Emacs Org-mode looks really interesting, I have to update the description.

Out of curiosity, what converter are you using? I'll test it too.

Recently, an important fix was made, I suggest you to update kokoi to v0.1.5, just execute these two commands (as root if you are on Linux):

  npm uninstall -g kokoi

  npm install -g kokoi

Thank you for liking it. I'll do some tests with .org files.

For Arch Linux users there's also a PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kokoi/
