Markdown Rich Text Editor – Best Options and Features

automationgithublibreofficemarkdowntext-editor

I have become fed up with writing down markdown tables scratch,
I need some "rich text editor like" program to automate creation of markdown for me and hence of tables.

The only rich text editor I work with is LibreOffice Writer and it doesn't support the .md extension (I guess because markdown is basically plain text).

I also work with Visual Studio Code, but I assume "rich text like" editing of markdown isn't possible with it.
A quick google search on Markdown rich editing text like program didn't yield a related result for me.

How could I create markdown documents in a comfortable GUI ("automated") way so the markdown will be written for me?

_{This would ease me creating tables I publish in my GitHub account (I wish I could rich-edit markdown tables directly on GitHub).}

Marktext would be the best choice.

Just press @ and it will help you create tables, etc, even flowcharts very easily:

Try Retext which supports markdown. Retext has been in Ubuntu since 12.04 precise. For earlier Ubuntu releases, or if you want a more recent version of Retext, get it from the project home page or from a PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mitya57/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install retext

This will install Retext.

If you want a gedit plugin with markdown support:

Download this and extract the file in ~/Download directory.
Open a terminal, cd to the ~/Downloads/gedit-markdown-master directory and run ./gedit-markdown.sh install.
Restart Gedit and you have a markdown plugin, enable it and enjoy ! .
