Man, the textern extension for #firefox is so good. Being able to edit wiki pages in a proper markdown editor (#emacs) is great.

@jeeger You think that Emacs is a "proper md editor"? Which mode are you using?

Maybe I'm too influenced by orgmode but I haven't seen any(!) proper markdown editor yet.

@publicvoit markdown mode, I think?

@jeeger Very primitive to me. 😞

@publicvoit @jeeger What do you feel is missing? I use the Emacs markdown-mode a lot and I find it very useful. Some of my favorite features are the table support, the code block editing and the list manipulation commands.

@zrzz @jeeger I actually do need to re-check. Last time I checked, it was just a small fraction of the features I'm used from Org-mode so that I did not even bother to work within Emacs but stayed in vim with no particular MD support at all.
