P.S. Turns out the Markdown Viewer is now also a plugin for Firefox Markdown Viewer – Add-ons for Firefox | | | | Markdown Viewer – Add-ons for Firefox | | | On Friday, 13 April 2018, 5:11:42 pm AEST, Tatiana Lenz <tlenz2006@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi all, Sorry, maybe I made my point badly. I was basically trying to say which editor you use is not as important as the rendered markdown. I agree, Atom is a great editor. It's licensed under an MIT license. FSF warns you about an anti-feature (I love that term) though:- "Atom will by default send “anonymous” usage data to Google Analytics (operating system, Atom version, screen resolution, …). To change this, go to Preferences, and "Core" settings. Change "Send Telemetry data to the Atom Team" to No (Do not send any telemetry data)." See https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Category/Interface/text I guess I should also use this opportunity to add that there are browser plugins for rendering markdown. I personally use a Chromium plugin, also with an MIT license, simply called "Markdown Viewer" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-viewer/ckkdlimhmcjmikdlpk.... The project and documentation are on GitHub simov/markdown-viewer | | | | | | | | | | | simov/markdown-viewer markdown-viewer - Markdown Viewer / Browser Extension | | | ...but there are so many out there for Firefox and Chromium, just check the license (the plugins may have a different license to the browser you are using.) OK, I think that brings it up to 2 cents' worth now. Regards to all, Tatiana On Thursday, 12 April 2018, 7:32:02 pm AEST, David Maslen <list@maslen.id.au> wrote:

I'm pretty firmly in the emacs camp, although I appreciate the vi key bindings. I think the learning curve for emacs makes it a significant commitment, but it's an 'art worth your learning'. So do use emacs. However, if I were in the market for a 'simple' and free[^2] text editor, I think I'd check out atom[^1]. Looks like plugins are written in node.js. Not a language I know much about, but a language taught to kids and probably one of the best languages to learn if you only learn one. -- Sent with gnus [^1]: https://atom.io/ [^2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(text_editor)
