vim-pandoc VS helix

With that, the only thing left to do was the make it as convenient as possible to export an MLA-formatted PDF from inside Neovim, so I wrote a custom function using the vim-pandoc plugin as a wrapper to make the command simpler:

See also vim-pandoc, vim-latex, vimura

vim-pandoc is a plugin that uses pandoc external program to convert documents between different formats.

I use vim-pandoc with neovim, it nests # headings as expected. If you install it, check :help vim-pandoc-folding for more info and other options.

From that perspective, raw text might be okay--google drive is mostly treated as a cloud storage system and not really as a place for formatted documents. Markdown is still useful from a vim folding perspective; and generating formatted output (e.g., via pandoc) can be done outside of vim (or perhaps using vim-pandoc or simple script snippets).

What about an alternative markdown syntax plugin? I'm using https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc alongside https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc-syntax (you can also use only the syntax plugin), which does support latex math.

I was trying to use some of Gilles Castel's LaTeX snippets for my own notetaking, which I do on nvim with markdown, using pandoc to convert to pdf. The problem with this is that the tex snippets are designed to be activated only when in LaTeX math, but there's no function to directly check this in the plugin I'm using for pandoc markdown.

I'm trying to cut back on some plugins that I'm not really getting that much out of and clean up my vimrc because it was getting a little bloated. Does anyone know if there is a good way to have a pop-up table of contents in a markdown document for jumping around a document like there is in 'vim-pandoc' (https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc.git) without all the other stuff in that plugin? I suppose I can just use marks but I really liked that one feature. Thanks!

Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

I'm probably not the average python programmer.

But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.

I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...

Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.

Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
