embedding drawings

Open Krastanov opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

This is a wonderful tool! Thank you for creating it!

This tool is almost perfect for preparing lecture notes and exams that can then be rendered as a nice PDF. The main thing that is missing is being able to embed drawings (images) with the standard markdown notation for it (and maybe base64 encoding inside of the document). I am posting this as a feature suggestion.

Glad you're enjoying it!

Embedded drawings is a bit of a stretch for the current app, which is very focussed on editing pure text files. But it's certainly an interesting use-case.

One way I've solved similar problems in the past was to write something like graphviz or mermaid drawing notation into a code block in the markdown, and then use a pandoc filter to convert those to images as part of the rendering step. But that might be a little more elaborate than what you had in mind!
