Inline editing is underrated. Being able to see mistakes instantly cuts down a lot of the trial‑and‑error debugging in Markdown-heavy projects.

What does debugging Markdown even mean?

For math.stackexchange.com which uses MathJax, I use MacDown, a markdown editor with parallel windows, one showing the MathJax and the other (in real time) the rendered math. I find it essential.
I enter my math directly into the editor without writing anything on paper. Works for me. The ability to copy and paste is invaluable.

It'd be nice if there was a live demo without needing to clone the repo. Though I suppose I could just try it out with a bookmarklet:
FYSA: iPadOS 26.5 user here, cursor keys send the cursor to start of line. Clicking somewhere allows insert at that spot, but then arrows send cursor back to start of line again.

Found out about 45 min ago about pretty much the lack of mobile creature comforts.
Working on mobile clients right now. Will push improvements tonight.

RTF format is pretty powerful. I wonder what has held it back.

How can it be defined dependency free if it depends on Node.js?
_boffin_ 1 days ago [-]
Dependency-free means zero runtime dependencies, not no dev tools. Could have explained that better.

Do you mean I don't need Node.js on the machine where I run it?

It's a web component so you run it in the browser without dependencies after it's already been built with Node.
_boffin_ 1 days ago [-]
Doesn’t need to be built by node. It’s standalone.

it needs an operating system to run omg not dependency free

LOL, and an internet connection, too!
But, seriously, of course "web" requires internet and a computer and an operating system. But since when "web" also means Node.js?
If a web component is advertized as dependency free, I expect something that I can include in a <script> tag and it works. Am I wrong?

i mean fwiw can prolly include direct script tag using something like https://esm.sh

Does this operating system also depend on an underlying computer?

You're free to just step through the assembly manually. You might need some paper and a pen.

It ain't dependency free, if you need pen and paper.
Markdown has some more possibilities, see: https://github.com/lifeparticle/Markdown-Cheatsheet
