What are you using to edit #markdown locally? I write educational stuff with lots of images, I would like to see them in a preview...
I'm on Linux, and I'd like some #FLOSS tool #fedirecommend
@villares I don't do a LOT of Markdown, but https://ghostwriter.kde.org/ is pretty good. It has the basic MD syntax for images but if you want to control image size you'll have to use html tags. It has an optional preview mode too.
@woltiv cool, I should have a go at it!
(yeah, image control is a bit of a chore when using md...)
@villares I don't do a lot of markdown, but I use https://joplinapp.org/ when I do, which I think technically does what you ask (open source, Linux, immediate preview)?
@villares
I use Obsidian for note and some time for more longue or complexe document MarkText https://www.marktext.cc
Je n'ai pas encore compris pourquoi parfois je bascule peut être le mode Zen de marktext
@villares pra coisas com imagens eu costumava usar o Joplin https://joplinapp.org/
@rony eu testei o Joplin mas por algum motivo que enão lembro não clicou, acho que no geral era OK...
Cheguei a usar o Marktext no passado e lembro vagamente que estava ruim de instalar, mas agora tem um Appimage fácil eu vou talvez testar novamente ele.
@villares o que eu não curto no Joplin é o layout com 3 colunas verticais, muito estranho.
@contrefeu I also use Logseq! but only for my personal notes, not to edit my teaching materials that live in a public repo afterwards :(
@daltux @contrefeu yeah, I've heard about people who export/publish selected notes, but I didn't explore that either... maybe I should think about it.
A thing that might bother me is the "block" hierarchy focus of Logseq, it might disturb me when writing my "normal" tutorials....
@villares Intellij Idea has a free edition. And good Markdown / AsciiDoc features.
@villares Pandoc can generate HTML from Markdown. I wrote a small shell script to watch for file changes, using entr tool, and Pandoc to rebuild HTMLs. And I continue using my preferred text editor as usual, btw I use vim or neovim.

@villares My 50 cents: VNote, Zettlr, QOwnNotes
@villares
Let me please even do this.
Reqs:
* 1 : Markdown syntax highlight in the edit mode

* 3 : Image preview in the edit mode
* 4 : Distraction-free edit (mute other lines)
* 5 : Tabs
* 6 : Table of Contents
* 7 : Follow links for other files
* 8 : Work with any source, no need to create a "vault"
* 9 : Spellcheck (not failing after 35000 symbols)
* a : HTML-preview
* b : Low resource consumption
* c : Deep customization of CSS
* d : Panels on a single side
* e : Autocorrect (auto replacement patterns).
* f : Read-only mode (Vim-like)
* g : Pin tabs
* h : Line numbers
The compliant matrix (functions they DO NOT have):

@villares
I had the same question back in 2018. I tried many tools (some are not maintained anymore). I ended up with Joplin, especially because of the markdown extensions that you can enable, such as mermaid.
But eventually my use-case changed quite a bit and also my eyes got used to only seeing markdown. So for the past two years I use markdown.el in Emacs. But to my colleagues I have suggested Joplin [1] and GhostWriter [2].
@villares I use Doom Emacs. A bit of initial startup but totally worth the time investment.
@villares I use Codium for this currently
