Best Markdown Editor and Solution

Update on 2017-1-18

After 6 months, I stick to the little software Typora. The best features are immediate feedback, autosave and elegant. To render markdown in blogspot, just copy the source mode and convert it by an Chrome Extension “Markdown here“, which supports MathJax. Everything is nicely done.

By the way, the windows version of typora seems very unstable. Once it died half way and everything I wrote was lost.

In case you are in a public computer, then https://stackedit.io is the best choice.

Equations in Markdown

try $3n+\sum_2^n{\pi}$ to see whether it supports MathJax.

convert equation to LaTex code

However, remember LaTeX Math Symbols will help you type equation faster.

Write equation in Github Markdown

Sadly, Github flavored Markdown doesn’t support MathJax. The solution is to use some websites to convert it into image, and insert it using ![]() syntax. Such websites include:

how to use: convert-> download -> copy and paste

Write equations in gmail

A chrome extention “Tex for Gmail“ do the job. write equation by the above link and paste.

Note: simple equation is good, complex equation is terrible

MarkDown vs LaTex

MarkDown->html -> scrolling in one page

LaTex->PDF -> printing multiple pages

Let’s rock:

All roads lead to Rome, some people die at the starting line instead of on the roads.
