Mark IgraDoes anyone know if there is a <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#markdown</a> editor with a good outline mode? Lots of em have a way to navigate an outline or collapse headings, but haven't seen anything with native markdown support that makes the thing you are editing *look* like an indented outline while editing. Even something like Word's crappy outline support would be an improvement. <a href="https://mastodon.social/@davew" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@davew</a> do you have any suggestions? IIRC you've been on top of this space for decades.

Karl Voit :emacs: :orgmode:<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@amoroso" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@amoroso</a> My thoughts:- They mix up Markdown with the general term lightweight <a href="https://graz.social/tags/markup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#markup</a> language (as if <a href="https://graz.social/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Markdown</a> is the only <a href="https://graz.social/tags/LML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LML</a> syntax)- They ignore all other markup syntax examples such as (La)TeX, HTML, ...- great screenshots of Word for DOS upwards 👍- the title should be "<a href="https://graz.social/tags/WYSIWYG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WYSIWYG</a> vs. LML" (instead of the Word vs. Markdown story)- no mentioning of other LML examplesWell it looks, as if we're settling for a mediocre standard again.Related: <a href="https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/</a><a href="https://graz.social/tags/orgdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#orgdown</a> <a href="https://graz.social/tags/orgmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#orgmode</a>

Nick Radcliffe<a href="https://mastodon.social/@reichenstein" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@reichenstein</a> I don’t agree with all of this, but I strongly agree with the spirit.Being pedantic and old: a hashtag is a word preceded by a hash symbol. Like <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#markdown</a>. The octothorp character, #, is often called the hash symbol (and also the ‘pound’ symbol, in the US of A). It introduces a hashtag, but is not itself a hashtag.But as I say, that is slightly pedantic., and you may not care. And in 20 years I’ll be wrong about this.

Tom :damnified:I'm looking for a Markdown editor that I can use to write my blog posts.

In <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/DEVONthink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DEVONthink</a>, similar global edits in the formatting are possible in rich text documents as well.

Moritz"Word has layout capabilities, it’s widely understood and marketed as a word processor. Technically, it is geard towards formatting and layouting. And yet, professional journalists, professors, and even poets that don’t care much about fonts, dropcaps and margins, were forced to using it. Not because it’s the best app for writing. Because the university, the editor in chief, the book publisher offers and expects the `.docx` format." <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Markdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Markdown</a> <a href="https://ia.net/topics/markdown-and-the-slow-fade-of-the-formatting-fetish" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ia.net/topics/markdown-and-the-slow-fade-of-the-formatting-fetish</a>
