I really don't there's a need for a special application for this; I use Emacs's markdown-mode, python-markdown, and xhtml2pdf along with a docview pane to edit and preview Markdown, and I can't imagine a smoother experience with a dedicated editor — plus I get to use the editor to which I'm generally accustomed.
- joeblau 13y agoYou're right, you definitely don't need a dedicated application, but I would rather just open up one executable instead of cobbling together multiple utilities. It's all about your workflow though, for me, I feel more comfortable using a M↓ where scrolling is synced and it can watch what I'm doing in real-time. I'm gonna look into your setup though. I'm definitely all about being on the terminal, does your setup work well with VIM as well?
- JasonFruit 13y agoNot really, since it relies on Emacs' docview mode, which can display the pages of a pdf file; I'm not aware of a way of doing that with vim. If I were doing it in the terminal, I'd probably use w3m in Emacs to roughly render the HTML. I don't know if that's possible in vim either, but it seems more likely.
