It wasn’t clear how to see the actual Markdown code as you write. It appears to have a minimum feature set and shows the final results of the Markdown output. Typora Typora is available for all three operating systems in beta for Windows and macOS but Linux isn’t available presently. Some of the more noteworthy editors are described below. I investigated many of them and tested some of the promising choices. It’s not clear from all the posting which editor would be right for this project. 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.

No file found.I’m working on an embedded systems workshop, and an open source software defined network course. Unity -replace did not bring Typora back to the Dash.įind ~/.local/share/applications -name sktop 2>&- comes with an empty result. Output of ls -l /usr/share/applications/sktop /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/typora.png -rw-rw-r- 1 root root 302 Apr 23 18:45 /usr/share/applications/sktop Output of apt-cache policy typora typora: So, how can I get Typora to behave like any other app on the Ubuntu desktop? If opened from the command line, there's no app icon but the default question mark. However, since a couple of days, the app is not found in the dash anymore, while it still can be called from the console. Installation followed the standard Ubuntu way as shown here. Until recently, the app was easily found in the Dash by typing either "write." or "typora.". I've been using Typora App for Linux happily for months.
