You seem to understand every line of the code, but without the tutorial, you find yourself in a difficult position. If you have looked at problem-solving in HackerRank or LeetCode, you can relate to how an aspiring programmer feels seeing those challenges for the first time. Everything seems out of the box! Being unable to apply what you learned from a tutorial might make you doubt your knowledge and abilities as you begin to understand the basics of the programming language you're learning. + +### Putting programming tutorials into practice + +Should you start back at the beginning? If you do that, you may soon find that you've covered those topics more than enough times. Starting from scratch is not necessarily a waste, but how can you be more efficient? + +Memorization is simply not the solution in programming. Having said that, you cannot neglect the importance of getting used to syntaxes. There is a significant difference between memorizing and making a habit. The latter is difficult to break. Make a habit of playing around with the programming language's regular syntaxes, functions, methods, patterns, paradigms, and constructs to ace it. Acing a programming language involves a lot of creativity and practice. It is essential to practice syntaxes until they flow as smoothly in your brain as the blood runs through your veins. + +### How problem-solving works + +How you approach solutions depends on many factors. These factors could be anything from technical constraints to user needs. The world has innumerable problems and there are many ways of solving each. Deciding on the best way involves extensive problem-solving skills. + +Here is a simple example. You need to achieve a result of **6** by *adding* two numbers. You can accomplish this several ways: + +**3+3=6** or **4+2=6** or **5+1=6** + +Similarly, say you need to achieve a result of **6** by using two numbers and either subtraction, division, or multiplication. You have many options, including: + +**8-2=6** or **12/2=6** or **3*2=6** + +Each solution may have a different constraint. You must consider all of these when developing effective real-world solutions. Is the solution feasible? Accessible? Interoperable? Scalable? Minimizing the constraint and developing an optimal solution depends on the business need and type of problem. + +### Practice matters + +The goal of programming is much more than problem-solving. Understanding *how* the code functions from an engineering perspective is always an advantage. That's where code reviews come into play at an enterprise level. The bare minimum requirement in programming is to have basic coding knowledge, including the language's syntaxes, functions, and methods. At the end of the day, coding is what you *do*, so practicing always helps improve your skills. Fluency in writing and developing complex solutions comes with consistent practice and learning. + +### Learning to code + +My goal for writing and sharing this article is to encourage new programmers to seek the great problem solver in themselves. Please don't stop believing in yourself. + +There are many habits to nurture for successful coding. Here are my ways of staying effective while learning to code: + +1. A [cheat sheet][1] of syntaxes, methods, and functions can come in handy. +2. Break problems into smaller parts to make them easier to follow. +3. Try to understand the core concept of how code functions. +4. Try to improvise with your solutions but always stick to the basics in the beginning. +5. Create as many applications and components as possible while practicing. +6. Never copy/paste code from open platforms like stack overflow/exchange, especially without understanding the context. +7. After following the tutorial, try to build everything from scratch. If you manage to accomplish half of it by yourself, that's still an achievement. + +Good luck to all of us. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://opensource.com/article/22/8/coding-advice-new-programmers + +作者：[Sachin Samal][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://opensource.com/users/sacsam005 +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://opensource.com/downloads/cheat-sheets diff --git a/sources/talk/20220816 The Effect of Nvidia-s Open Source Drivers On Linux Gamers.md b/sources/talk/20220816 The Effect of Nvidia-s Open Source Drivers On Linux Gamers.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..54800cabbf --- /dev/null +++ b/sources/talk/20220816 The Effect of Nvidia-s Open Source Drivers On Linux Gamers.md @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +[#]: subject: "The Effect of Nvidia’s Open Source Drivers On Linux Gamers" +[#]: via: "https://www.opensourceforu.com/2022/08/the-effect-of-nvidias-open-source-drivers-on-linux-gamers/" +[#]: author: "Laveesh Kocher https://www.opensourceforu.com/author/laveesh-kocher/" +[#]: collector: "lkxed" +[#]: translator: " " +[#]: reviewer: " " +[#]: publisher: " " +[#]: url: " " + +The Effect of Nvidia’s Open Source Drivers On Linux Gamers +====== +The community will receive an open source driver from Nvidia for the first time with the release of the R515 driver, which should make it easier for Linux users to use Nvidia graphics cards in their computers. It is advantageous for Nvidia to support more open source technological standards. Unfortunately, Nvidia has not consistently embraced open sourcing software, which has led to some controversy in their user group. However, this might be improving with the new R515 driver. + +People have been pleading for Nvidia to make their driver software more accessible, like firms like Intel and AMD that offer open source drivers for their goods. But up until now, Nvidia’s drivers have been closed-source, which doesn’t present too many problems for Windows users but makes utilising Nvidia GPUs more difficult to optimise for the Linux community. Unlike AMD drivers, which are open source and enable developers to fully see how the drivers were coded, Nvidia drivers are closed-source, making it impossible for developers to examine the source code of a driver and create their software with a complete understanding of how the drivers were created. + +So how will Linux gaming be impacted by Nvidia’s new R515 drive? Most likely, it won’t have a significant impact right away. Nvidia GPUs can be used for gaming on Linux because the company offers Linux drivers, despite the fact that they are proprietary. Numerous Linux distributions, including PopOS, will automatically install Nvidia drivers for the user. However, if Nvidia keeps releasing its drivers as open source software over time, Linux developers will be able to benefit from the advantages that open sourcing drivers has provided for AMD, such as increased compatibility and a variety of driver options, either proprietary or open source, depending on what the user requires. In the same way that AMD and Intel are the most dependable choices on Linux in comparison to Nvidia, being open source can also aid in the development of drivers and boost dependability for Linux. + +Because of how amazing Nvidia’s proprietary drivers have always been on Windows and how great they are generally on Linux, many gamers and Linux users continue to utilise Nvidia GPUs rather than exclusively AMD. Before the R515 driver, there was also a free and open-source Nvidia driver named Nouveau. The official Nvidia proprietary drivers were generally faster and more dependable than this driver. This is most likely caused by Nouveau not being the official open source driver from Nvidia and instead being a product of Nvidia driver reverse engineering. Another drawback of Nouveau is that it does not enable GPU reclocking, which is a major obstacle for customers who want to overclock their Nvidia GPU. + +Overall, the news that Nvidia will now officially offer open source drivers is a significant plus. Since the drivers are now open source, the community will be able to assist in the development of new drivers, giving developers far more information about the drivers they are creating applications and games for. Over time, Linux will also gain since it has a high chance of being just as dependable and compatible with Nvidia GPUs as it is with AMD and Intel, which will improve gaming performance and efficiency. Nvidia’s decision to make its software open source may continue to increase pressure on other tech companies to disclose more information about their products, which will support a more liberal and open future for technology. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://www.opensourceforu.com/2022/08/the-effect-of-nvidias-open-source-drivers-on-linux-gamers/ + +作者：[Laveesh Kocher][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://www.opensourceforu.com/author/laveesh-kocher/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed diff --git a/sources/tech/20220816 A look inside an EPUB file.md b/sources/tech/20220816 A look inside an EPUB file.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3b836837d0 --- /dev/null +++ b/sources/tech/20220816 A look inside an EPUB file.md @@ -0,0 +1,123 @@ +[#]: subject: "A look inside an EPUB file" +[#]: via: "https://opensource.com/article/22/8/epub-file" +[#]: author: "Jim Hall https://opensource.com/users/jim-hall" +[#]: collector: "lkxed" +[#]: translator: " " +[#]: reviewer: " " +[#]: publisher: " " +[#]: url: " " + +A look inside an EPUB file +====== +EPUB files are a great way to publish content using an open format. + +![How to find files in Linux][1] + +Image by: Lewis Cowles, CC BY-SA 4.0 + +eBooks provide a great way to read books, magazines, and other content on the go. Readers can enjoy eBooks to pass the time during long flights and train rides. The most popular eBook file format is the EPUB file, short for "electronic publication." EPUB files are supported across a variety of eReaders and are effectively the standard for eBook publication today. + +The EPUB file format is an open standard based on XHTML for content and XML for metadata, contained in a zip file archive. And because everything is based on open standards, we can use common tools to create or examine EPUB files. Let's explore an EPUB file to learn more about it. [A guide to tips and tricks for C programming][2], published earlier this year on Opensource.com, is available in PDF or EPUB format. + +Because EPUB files are XHTML content and XML metadata in a zip file, you can start with the `unzip` command to examine the EPUB from the command line: + +``` +$ unzip -l osdc_Jim-Hall_C-Programming-Tips.epub +Archive: osdc_Jim-Hall_C-Programming-Tips.epub +Length Date Time Name +--------- ---------- ----- ---- +20 06-23-2022 00:20 mimetype +8259 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/styles/stylesheet.css +1659 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/toc.xhtml +4460 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/content.opf +44157 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/sections/section0018.xhtml +1242 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/sections/section0002.xhtml +22429 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/sections/section0008.xhtml +[...] +9628 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/sections/section0016.xhtml +748 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/sections/section0001.xhtml +3370 06-23-2022 00:20 OEBPS/toc.ncx +8308 06-23-2022 00:21 OEBPS/images/image0011.png +6598 06-23-2022 00:21 OEBPS/images/image0009.png +[...] +14492 06-23-2022 00:21 OEBPS/images/image0005.png +239 06-23-2022 00:20 META-INF/container.xml +--------- ------- +959201 41 files +``` + +This EPUB contains a lot of files, but much of this is content. To understand how an EPUB file is put together, follow the process flow of an eBook reader: + +1. eBook readers need to verify that the EPUB file is really an EPUB file. They verify the file by examining the `mimetype` file at the root of the EPUB archive. This file contains just one line that describes the MIME type of the EPUB file: + +``` +application/epub+zip +``` + +2. To locate the content, eBook readers start with the `META-INF/container.xml` file. This is a brief XML document that indicates where to find the content. For this EPUB file, the `container.xml` file looks like this: + +``` + + + + + + +``` + +To make the `container.xml` file easier to read, I split the single line into multiple lines and added some spacing to indent each line. XML files don't really care about extra white space like new lines and spaces, so this extra spacing doesn't affect the XML file. + +3. The `container.xml` file says the root of the EPUB starts with the `content.opf` file in the OEBPS directory. The OPF extension is because EPUB is based on the Open Packaging Format, but the `content.opf` file is really just another XML file. + +4. The `content.opf` file contains a complete manifest of the EPUB contents, plus an ordered table of contents, with references to find each chapter or section. The `content.opf` file for this EPUB is quite long, so I'll show just a bit of it here as an example. +The XML data is contained within a `` block, which itself has a ``block, the `` data, and a ``block that contains the eBook's table of contents: + +``` + + + + osdc002 + Tips and Tricks for C Programming + Jim Hall + English + 2022-06-23T12:09:13Z + + + + ... + + + + + ... + + + + + + ... + + +``` + +You can match up the data to see where to find each section. That’s how EPUB readers do it. For example, the first item in the table of contents references `section0001` which is defined in the manifest as located in the `sections/section0001.xhtml` file. The file doesn’t need to be named the same as the idref entry, but that’s how LibreOffice Writer’s automated process created the file. (You can see in the metadata that this EPUB was created with LibreOffice version 7.3.0.3 on Linux, which can export content as EPUB files.) + +### The EPUB format + +EPUB files are a great way to publish content using an open format. The EPUB file format is XML metadata with XHTML content, inside a zip container. While most technical writers use tools to create EPUB files, because EPUB is based on open standards means you can create your own EPUB files in some other way. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://opensource.com/article/22/8/epub-file + +作者：[Jim Hall][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://opensource.com/users/jim-hall +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/lead-images/find-file-linux-code_magnifying_glass_zero.png +[2]: https://opensource.com/downloads/guide-c-programming diff --git a/sources/tech/20220816 Check Disk Space Using Agedu In Linux.md b/sources/tech/20220816 Check Disk Space Using Agedu In Linux.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..c24dec3cbc --- /dev/null +++ b/sources/tech/20220816 Check Disk Space Using Agedu In Linux.md @@ -0,0 +1,347 @@ +[#]: subject: "Check Disk Space Using Agedu In Linux" +[#]: via: "https://ostechnix.com/agedu-find-out-wasted-disk-space-in-linux/" +[#]: author: "sk https://ostechnix.com/author/sk/" +[#]: collector: "lkxed" +[#]: translator: " " +[#]: reviewer: " " +[#]: publisher: " " +[#]: url: " " + +Check Disk Space Using Agedu In Linux +====== +Find Wasted Disk Space With Agedu + +Running out of disk space? It is time to find out which directories and files are occupying the most disk space. Fortunately, checking Linux disk space is made easier with **Agedu** utility. This guide explains **what is Agedu**, how to install Agedu, and how to **check disk space** in Linux and **find wasted disk space using Agedu**. + +### What Is Agedu? + +**Agedu** is a command line utility that tracks down the wasted disk space in your Linux system. Agedu works just like as [du command][1]. It scans your hard disk and displays the disk usage result in the Terminal window. + +Agedu has a built-in web server, so we can display the result as a neatly organized HTML report in different colors in our web browser. + +It distinguishes the data in different colors. The red color represents the data that has been accessed a long time ago, Green represents the recently accessed data, and the spectrum through orange and yellow represents points in between. + +By analyzing the colored output, we can immediately get a grasp of which directories and files have been used frequently and which data have been stagnated. + +Once we find out the stagnated data, we can simply delete them if they are no longer needed or move them safely to an archive medium to free up some disk space. + +Agedu has both CLI and web-based interface. You can view the disk usage report either from the Terminal window or from a web browser. + +Agedu is a cross-platform utility. It works on Linux, Unix and Windows operating systems. It is an open source program and is released under MIT license. + +Let us go ahead and see how to use agedu to find wasted disk space in Linux with practical examples. + +### Install Agedu in Linux + +Agedu is packaged for popular Linux distributions and is available in the default repositories of some Linux versions. + +**Install Agedu in Arch Linux:** + +Agedu is available in AUR, so you can install it on Arch Linux, EndeavourOS and Manjaro Linux an **AUR** helper programs, such as [Paru][2] or [Yay][3]. + +``` +$ paru -S agedu +``` + +Or, + +``` +$ yay -S agedu +``` + +**Install Agedu in Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop OS:** + +Agedu is available in the default repositories of Debian-based systems like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Pop OS. To install Agedu in Debian and Ubuntu, run: + +``` +$ sudo apt install agedu +``` + +**Install Agedu in Fedora, RHEL and its clones:** + +On RPM based distributions like Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, add **[EPEL]** repository using command: + +``` +$ sudo dnf install epel-release +``` + +And then, install agedu as shown below. + +``` +$ sudo dnf install agedu +``` + +On older RPM-based systems, replace `dnf` with `yum` in the above commands. + +### Check Disk Space With Agedu In Linux + +The usage of agedu utility is trivial. The syntax of agedu is: + +``` +agedu [ options ] action [action...] +``` + +Let us see some examples. + +Open the Terminal and run the following command to scan $HOME directory. + +``` +$ agedu -s /home/ostechnix/ +``` + +**Sample output:** + +``` +Built pathname index, 6731 entries, 684647 bytes of index +Faking directory atimes +Building index +Final index file size = 1475496 bytes +``` + +![Scan A Directory With Agedu In Linux][4] + +This command will create data index file called "`agedu.dat` " in the current working directory. + +#### View Linux Disk Space Usage Reports With Agedu + +To query the disk space report from the index file which we created in the previous step, run: + +``` +$ agedu -t /home/ostechnix/ +``` + +**Sample output:** + +``` +30288 /home/ostechnix/.cache +6804 /home/ostechnix/.config +3875876 /home/ostechnix/.docker +40 /home/ostechnix/.gnupg +864 /home/ostechnix/.local +12 /home/ostechnix/.password-store +76 /home/ostechnix/.pki +512 /home/ostechnix/Downloads +604 /home/ostechnix/descent +5844 /home/ostechnix/dotfile +39076 /home/ostechnix/grub2-themes +335188 /home/ostechnix/snap +4684516 /home/ostechnix +``` + +Let us narrow down the report more specifically. Say for example, to list the files which are not viewed or accessed for last 2 days and more, run: + +``` +$ agedu -t /home/ostechnix/ -a 2d +``` + +**Sample output:** + +``` +15216 /home/ostechnix/.cache +5740 /home/ostechnix/.config +51052 /home/ostechnix/.docker +40 /home/ostechnix/.gnupg +328 /home/ostechnix/.local +12 /home/ostechnix/.password-store +512 /home/ostechnix/Downloads +604 /home/ostechnix/descent +5844 /home/ostechnix/dotfile +39076 /home/ostechnix/grub2-themes +335028 /home/ostechnix/snap +842756 /home/ostechnix +``` + +Similarly, just replace letter **"d"** with **"w"**for**weeks, "m"**for**months, "y"**for**years**. + +For instance, you can view the files which are not accessed for the past two weeks using this command: + +``` +$ agedu -t /home/ostechnix/ -a 2w +``` + +#### Get Disk Space Reports Of Particular File Types + +Agedu offers many useful options to track down the disk usage. One among them is view reports of a particular file type. + +For example, let us generate the report of txt files using command: + +``` +$ agedu -s . --exclude '*' --include '*.txt' +``` + +**Sample output:** + +``` +Built pathname index, 714 entries, 59257 bytes of index +Faking directory atimes +Building index +Final index file size = 189056 bytes +``` + +The above command will scan the disk usage taken only by the .txt files and excludes all other files in the current directory. + +Likewise, to scan a particular path, just specify it as shown below. + +``` +$ sudo agedu -s /home/ostechnix/Downloads --exclude '*' --include '*.txt' +``` + +To view the report, run: + +``` +$ sudo agedu -t /home/ostechnix/Downloads +``` + +#### View Disk Space Usage Reports In Web Browser + +To generate HTML report and view it on the web browser, run: + +``` +$ agedu -w --auth none +``` + +You can use just **"sudo agedu -w"**, however **"--auth none"** option will eliminate the 403 forbidden error. + +**Sample output:** + +``` +URL: http://localhost:33239/ +``` + +The HTML report of disk usage has been generated. Let us take a look at it. Open up your web browser and point it to **http://localhost:33239** or **http://IP-Address:33239**. Please note that different port number will be generated each time you run this command. + +![View Disk Space Report Using Agedu In Web Browser][5] + +Click on any directory to view its sub directories disk usage. + +![View Disk Space Report Of Sub-directories Using Agedu In Web Browser][6] + +As you see above, the most used disk space is showed on the top followed by subsequent smaller results. To exit Agedu, go back to the Terminal window where the Agedu is running and press **CTRL+D**. + +Once you find out data which are no longer used for a long time, you can just delete them or move them to any external medium. + +#### Configure Password Authentication For Agedu Web Interface + +Agedu web interface doesn't has authentication by default. However, It has an option to allow us to enable password protection to view the reports in web browser. + +Enter the following command to generate a password to access agedu's web interface. + +``` +$ agedu -w --address localhost:46484 --auth basic +``` + +This command will automatically create a username with password as shown in the output below. Please note down the username and password. + +``` +Username: agedu +Password: 29tj42tdtgrgpa3y +URL: http://localhost:46484/ +``` + +Now, open your web browser and point it to **http://locahost:46484**. This time it will ask you to enter the username and its password. + +![Configure Password Authentication For Agedu Web Interface][7] + +Once you entered the valid username and its password, you can access the agedu web interface. + +#### Define Custom Username And Password + +I don't like the default username and password. I want to define my own. Can I be able to do that? Of course you can. + +To set a custom username with password, run: + +``` +$ agedu -w --address locahost:46484 --auth basic --auth-fd 0 +``` + +Next, enter your custom user and its password as shown below. + +``` +ostechnix:password +``` + +Here **ostechnix** is my username and its password is **password**. It's just an example. I recommend you to use a strong password. + +And then, press `CTRL+D` to exit and return back to Terminal. + +From now, you can access the agedu's web interface using your custom username and password. + +#### Remove Index Files + +After deleting the unused files/directories, remove the index file generated by agedu: + +``` +$ agedu -R +``` + +You can also combine `-w` and `-R` options to view the disk space report and delete the index file after viewing the report like below. + +``` +$ agedu -s /home/ostechnix -w -R +``` + +The above command scans the HOME directory, builds its index, serves disk report via web browser, and cleans it up once you close the browser window. + +#### Set Custom Port For Agedu + +As you see before, agedu serves the result via different random ports each time. You can set a particular port of your liking if you want to. + +To set a port for agedu, run: + +``` +$ agedu -w --address localhost:1234 --auth none +``` + +Here, 1234 is the custom port. Replace it with your own. + +**Sample output:** + +``` +URL: http://localhost:1234/ +``` + +Or just specify the actual IP address. + +``` +$ sudo agedu -w --address 192.168.1.40:1234 +``` + +Now, you can view the report by visiting the URL - **http://localhost:1234** or **http://192.168.1.40:1234** from your browser. + +To exit Agedu, go the terminal where Agedu is running and press **CTRL+D**. + +For more details, refer Agedu manual page. + +``` +$ man agedu +``` + +### Conclusion + +Checking Linux disk space once in a while will help you to clean up unnecessary junk in your hard drive. With the help of Agedu, we can easily check disk space in Linux and track down the wasted disk space and finally remove them if they no longer needed. + +**Resource:** + +* [Agedu home page][8] + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://ostechnix.com/agedu-find-out-wasted-disk-space-in-linux/ + +作者：[sk][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://ostechnix.com/author/sk/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://ostechnix.com/find-size-directory-linux/ +[2]: https://ostechnix.com/how-to-install-paru-aur-helper-in-arch-linux/ +[3]: https://ostechnix.com/yay-found-yet-another-reliable-aur-helper/ +[4]: https://ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Find-Wasted-Disk-Space-With-Agedu-In-Linux.png +[5]: https://ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/View-Disk-Space-Report-Using-Agedu-In-Web-Browser.png +[6]: https://ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/View-Disk-Space-Report-Of-Sub-directories-Using-Agedu-In-Web-Browser.png +[7]: https://ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Configure-Password-Authentication-For-Agedu-Web-Interface.png +[8]: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/agedu/ diff --git a/sources/tech/20220816 Marktext is an Excellent Editor Even for Those Who Don-t Know Markdown.md b/sources/tech/20220816 Marktext is an Excellent Editor Even for Those Who Don-t Know Markdown.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..683a2bd3fc --- /dev/null +++ b/sources/tech/20220816 Marktext is an Excellent Editor Even for Those Who Don-t Know Markdown.md @@ -0,0 +1,132 @@ +[#]: subject: "Marktext is an Excellent Editor Even for Those Who Don’t Know Markdown" +[#]: via: "https://itsfoss.com/marktext-editor/" +[#]: author: "Abhishek Prakash https://itsfoss.com/" +[#]: collector: "lkxed" +[#]: translator: " " +[#]: reviewer: " " +[#]: publisher: " " +[#]: url: " " + +Marktext is an Excellent Editor Even for Those Who Don’t Know Markdown +====== +Another Markdown editor? Have we not seen all kinds of Markdown editors already? + +I understand that feeling. If you are a Markdown lover, from [Joplin][1] to [Zettlr][2], you have tried most of them. And if you are not a Markdown fan, you probably don’t care about these editors. + +Markdown is an excellent markup language specially for people who write for the web.

It works as good as it looks. Let me share my experience and its features. + +### Marktext: A Markdown editor for everyone + +Hate [Electron framework][5] as much as possible but you cannot deny that Electron-based applications have a clean, modern interface. + +![Marktext interface][6] + +I prefer dark mode and hence I switched the theme. There are six themes in total for you to choose from. + +![Marktext dark theme][7] + +You can start writing the text immediately. If you don’t remember the text, don’t worry. Just use the insert option with @ and it will give you a number of options such as: + +* Headings +* Divider line +* Table +* Mathematical equations +* HTML block +* Code block +* Quote block +* Lists +* Checklist +* Diagrams using vega-lite.js, flowchart.js, js-sequence and PlantUML + +![Use various document elements in the editor by pressing @][8] + +Select part of text and it gives you additional formatting option to change the text to bold, italic, underline, strike out. You can also highlight the text with yellow background text, convert them in inline code or inline math and create hyperlinks. + +![Text formatting options][9] + +Marktext also supports images. Though you know that images are not part of markdown (.md) file. They are external elements but you have the option to create a local assets folder in the same location where your Markdown file is saved. + +![Images are supported too][10] + +Adding image could have been made easier by including it in the insert menu. At the monet, you can add images by select texting and chosing the image option from the format options or use Ctrl+Shift+I keys. There is no scope for adding alt text or captions to the images. This should be improved. + +I liked the tables feature in Marktext. You can insert table with predefined size. If you changed your mind, you can resize it as easily. You can move the rows and columns, all with mouse drag and drop without touching the underlying code. + +![Tables are very well supported in Marktext][11] + +You can enable the sidebar view. The sidebar gives you three options. You can open folders containing multiple markdown files, perform a global search in all the files in the opened folder and show table of contents for the currently opened file. The table of content is automatically generated based on the subheadings. + +![Sidebar view has three options: Show folder content, global search and table of content][12] + +The gear icon at the bottom gives you additional settings to configure the editor. You can choose the themes, change image settings, views, enable auto-save and modify many more settings. + +![Configuration and settings][13] + +### Installing Marktext + +Marktext is a cross-platform, open source application. Along with Linux, it is available for Windows and macOS. + +For Linux, you get the options of AppImage and Flatpak. You can get the AppImage from[the release page][14]. + +I chose the Flatpak version for better system integration. And it did work well because Marktext automatically became the default editor for .md files on my Ubuntu 22.04 system. + +Please ensure that you have Flatpak support enabled on your system and then add Flathub repo: + +``` +flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo +``` + +After that, use the command below to install it on your system: + +``` +flatpak install flathub com.github.marktext.marktext +``` + +If you don’t like it, you can remove it using this command: + +``` +fkatpak uninstall com.github.marktext.marktext +``` + +### Verdict + +There are plenty of small features like word count, math latex, spell checker or copy-pasting as markdown or HTML and I leave them up to you to discover. + +I’ll be honest. Despite using Markdown for writing articles for years, I don’t remember all the syntaxes. I remember the common ones for headings, lists, code block etc but if I have to create a table, I’ll have to search the web. + +I have [experimented with a number of markdown editors][15] and there are plenty of good ones there.
