Par, a Text Formatting Program
I love this because I use markdown heavily in vim. I can't get vim markdown plugin to support auto bullet point insertion and nice `gq` bulleted list paragraph formatting at the same time[1]. However, vim lets you set a program that will do the paragraph formatting for you. I think I could use this to get `gq` to work while still having auto bullet point insertion!

Any idea what this markdown "live preview" plugin is?
Not sure which exact plugin that is, but seems like it just utilizes conceal, like this one.

What kind of applications are missing from the Linux ecosystem?
Novelwriter almost hits the sweet spot, but misses some features and is written in python, which makes some features hard to implement due to the nature of the programming language.

Looking for a 'Scrivener Light'
Alternatively, if you want Scrivener-like and are happy with open source projects, novelWriter scratches some of the same itch and is (a) free and (b) available on Linux, Windows, and macOS: it has a similar project-oriented interface to Scrivener, can export projects in HTML, Open Document, Markdown, Plain Text, or PDF, supports tagging and metadata, and uses Markdown for authoring. It's much less hot on importing foreign files (it's really an authoring tool) but is implemented in Python, uses XML/Json for internal files/metadata/configuration, and in use feels like an early version of Scrivener 1.x (which is really what your students want, but Lit'n'Latte discontinued it about a decade ago and you can no longer buy it).
