Markdown noting app which exports to PDF and shows LaTeX
Hello everyone. First post in tech support.
I have been using Joplin and fed up with its accumulating errors. What alternatives that support similar features do you recommend? (ranking from most important)
- Can insert image
- Hyperlink by markdown language
- Supports LaTeX
- Supports Mermaid flowchart
- Export to PDF
- Can handle a lot of notes
- Windows and Android
- Migrate a chunk of markdown files all at once
Thanks a lot. Have a nice day :)
It's like you read all the features of Obsidian, and posted them here so you could trick some dumb son-of-a-bitch into saying "Just use Obsidian!"
...wait
:)
Yup. Does Obsidian support LaTeX though? I personally just use the built-in PDF export functionality when sending my working notes to people who main OneNote like fools, and use a little helper script that exports a LaTeX file from the md file then creates pdf with whatever template I want. I'm sure there's probably a LaTeX plugin for Obsidian though.
Fwiw, I landed on Obsidian for its ability to let me just paste in screenshots from clipboard and dump the file into an arbitrary attachments folder that I define, no other editor at the time handled images from clipboard that gracefully.
It seems like Obsidian is not free, or if there is a free version of it?
Obsidian is free. Syncing and publishing is not.
As @[email protected] said, it's free outside of their syncing and publishing stuff. It's markdown, so I just use git cli for "syncing". There's also git plugins for obsidian if that's more your speed.
I use mdbook for publishing, it's basically just an open source gitbook.
They have business/enterprise licensing as well, which is where I'd assume the bulk of their revenue comes from.
