Hello everyone, my name is Jack.
In the early days, when I first started writing articles, I used a rich text editor, and the typesetting was very cumbersome. Now, when I look back on the original blog, I wrote it with a rich text editor and it didn't look very beautiful, until I slowly started to get new ideas. After doing things, I found out that there is also a Markdown editor.
Instead of getting in touch with the Markdown editor, and not knowing the common syntax of Markdown, it is relatively unfamiliar to use. Later, I learned the common syntax of Markdown, and I wrote an article specially, you can refer to: " Why should I learn Markdown? What's the use? 》
In the process of groping, I tried a lot of Markdown editors, such as: md2all, mdnice, WeChat Format, etc. Of course, these are all available online on the web, until I used Typora on the PC side, I have gradually become proficient in using it. Just after Typora was released for a fee last month, users who often use it may pay to support it. Of course, some users may choose other Markdown editors.
In daily work, some friends may write some documents or record some problems to form a blog. I highly recommend everyone to choose the Markdown editor. Because it can be used in the editors of many technical community platforms, synchronizing articles will also be more efficient.
As it happens, I recently discovered a simple and elegant open-source Markdown editor - Marktext, which focuses on speed and usability for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
The main reasons why the author of Mark Text wrote this editor:
-
The author of Mark Text likes to write, and he has tried many Markdown editors, but there is still no editor that can fully meet his needs. When writing some unbearable mistakes, he does not like to be disturbed, so Mark Text uses virtual DOM to render pages, with the benefits of being efficient and open source, so anyone who likes Markdown and writing can use Mark Text;
-
Mark Text is completely free and open source and will always be open source. At the same time, the author also hopes that all Markdown fans can contribute their own code to help develop Mark Text into a popular Markdown editor;
-
There are many Markdown editors on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to meet the needs of every Markdown user, but I hope Mark Text can satisfy every Markdown user as much as possible, although the latest Mark Text is not perfect, But will try to do the best;
Mark Text Features:
-
Supports live preview and a clean and simple interface for a distraction-free writing experience;
-
Support Markdown extensions, such as: mathematical expressions (KaTeX), emojis, etc.;
-
Supports paragraph and inline style shortcuts to improve writing efficiency;
-
Supports exporting files in HTML and PDF formats;
-
Support multiple themes, such as: Cadmium Light, Dark, Graphite Light, Material Dark, One Dark, UIysses Light;
-
Support multiple modes, such as: source code mode, typewriter mode, focus mode;
-
Support to paste images directly from clipboard;
Download and install Mark Text

Linux：
Using AppImage method
# chmod +x marktext-%version%-x86_64.AppImage

At this point, it is actually impossible to actually have AppImage installed, because AppImage is a file that requires authorization before it can be run. To integrate it into the desktop environment, you can manually create a desktop file or use AppImageLauncher.
Create desktop file

# 将桌面文件中的Exec更新为您真正的marktext命令。如有需要，请指定路径。
$ vim $HOME/.local/share/applications/marktext.desktop
$ update-desktop-database $HOME/.local/share/applications/
use binary
The latest package can be downloaded from the releases page of the GitHub repository, and installation via binary may require the installation of dependent packages.
Using Flathub way
After installing the flatpak and flathub repositories, you can install MarkText with just one command:
# flatpak install flathub com.github.marktext.marktext
To install only for the current user, execute the following command:

finally
Having said that, there are still many Markdown editors on the market, including the online version of the web page, the PC version, etc. for everyone to use.
If you've given up on using Typora, or haven't found a Markdown editor that suits you, try Marktext.
Of course, if you have a better Markdown editor recommendation, you can also share it by leaving a message.
