![]() I searched for Markdown editors and there are many posting on the top Markdown editors. I gave up on trying to get Notepad++ to meet our requirements because it’s a Windows only tool. I then searched for a Notepad++ plugin for Mermaid but didn’t find something I recognized as useful. To get Latex, you need to install MikTeX to provide LaTeX capabilities for Windows. The formatting works well but the code block text and coloring isn’t as good as in other Markdown editors. The plugin gives basic Markdown functionality. Notepad++ has a Markdown viewer call MarkdownViewer++. I like and use Notepad++ regularly in place of the Windows notepad. ![]() It took a while to find something that worked well. This led to a mini quest to find a Markdown editor that match the capability of the Markdown editor plugin in NextCloud and run on all three operating systems. The Markdown editor also needs to support text formatting, inline Latex math equation typesetting, Mermaid block diagrams, code blocks, and embedded videos. My collaborator uses macOS and Linux, and I use Windows 8.1 and 10, and Kubuntu 18.04. The requirement is to use tools that provide cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, and macOS), generate documents that can be easily be shared without using email, and place all documents into version control using Subversion. We selected Markdown as our preferred documentation processor as there is a powerful markdown plugin from NextCloud. My collaborator on the embedded system workshop has setup a NextCloud portal so that we can develop and share information, share C code, workshop content, provide version control, chat, and create figures. I want to take notes on various parts of the workshop development and during the online course lectures. I’m working on an embedded systems workshop, and an open source software defined network course. ![]()
