I needed a markdown editor which just does its job in Xorg so

TII (Today I installed)

ghostwriter

markdown editor

I have transcribed all of the docs as an exercise! (I will not copy paste those here though ')

Background & Revelation

Especially when a program is designed for a graphical interface Xorg Wayland I start it up from the shell

bash
ghostwriter &
> Gtk-Message: 20:11:54.178: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk3-module"
[ 0.251 5573 ghostwriter ] INFO Backup files will be stored in "~/.local/share/ghostwriter/backups/"
[ 0.300 5573 ghostwriter ] INFO Using pandoc version 3.1.11.1
[ 0.364 5573 ghostwriter ] INFO Using multimarkdown version 1.35
[ 0.366 5573 ghostwriter ] INFO Using cmark version 0.30.2

Usually XOrg software hides its output in /var/log/syslog sometimes it even dumps it in /dev/null

Ghost Writer immediately told me that it needs other libraries to work fully

pandoc
multimarkdown
cmark

This is why I started the hunt for those specific libraries, after visiting their home pages and reading in depth what they actually do
