User Stories and Feature Tasks

As a user, I want to be able to add new articles to my blog app so that it can stay current over time.

Review the image preview.png in the lab directory to get an idea of what we will be building.
Focus on the functionality of adding a new article through a form submission by completing the TODOs in articleView.js.
The new page with the form should provide a JSON string which can be copy/pasted into the data file to add articles to the blog.

As a developer, I want to make the user experience easy to understand so that the user will want to return to the blog.

We now have two pages in our blog app, each of which need different initialization. There is a skeleton of a method in articleView.js to get this started for the new page; be sure to examine how this is now being done for the index page.
The new page with the form will need event handling and a template. Where should these pieces go in the code?
The new page should not display any other articles; how to manage this?

Stretch Goal

As a user, I want to add highlighting and Markdown formatting so that it is attractive to guests visiting my app.

We have two new libraries that we can add: HighlightJS (provides syntax highlighting of code blocks) and MarkedJS (allows use of Markdown format text). Link to (or include) these two libraries and implement them.
