From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Something like TeXstudio, but for markdown? (lemmy.ml)

On occasion, I'll have to work with markdown files, sometimes with inline LaTeX. I'm surprised how limited my options are, or I'm looking in the wrong places. Pandoc does the job, but the lack of a integrated graphical workflow isn't my cup of tea.

Has anyone found a good graphical markdown editor that can handle inline LaTeX and doesn't pull a gigabyte of dependencies? Preferably also can render the final output to PDF.

What is inline latex? Do you just mean math, or do you really use latex functions?

Do you really have to use latex or can't you already migrate to typst?

For raw markdown I can recommend any text editor I guess. I use vscode/codium the most.

Math, particularly snippets from larger manuscripts and documentation thrown around between colleagues. Can't really predict when they send a .tex and when they send a .md for review.

Vscode is a good one. You may want eto use extensions. You can then drop texstudio as well.

If you are looking for WYSIWYG, marktext is great. But there are lots of markdown editors.

Iirc, Kde also published one last year which looked neat

If you are curious, zed might be the editor of the future.
