I really don't mean this as a slight, honestly just asking, what's the big draw towards using a markdown editor (as opposed to just writing in plain text in something like vscode and clicking 'preview markdown' occasionally when really necessary) ?
I write lots of markdown but never got into using a markdown editor. Just trying to understand. Is it mainly to make sure your formatting is correct? Or to get a feel for what the final product looks like?
- leephillips 5y agoI use Vim with a Markdown plugin (vim-markdown). Works well, can generate a pane with a table of contents from the headers, fold and jump around based on document structure, and more.
- lytefm 5y agoSome people just really enjoy working with a WYSIWYG editor as opposed to a split pane with source and preview. With Mark Text I can immerse myself much better into writing, reading or editing. It is visually much more appealing to me. Also, just needing one pane saves screen space.
