On occasion, I’ll have to work with markdown files, sometimes with inline LaTeX. I’m surprised how limited my options are, or I’m looking in the wrong places. Pandoc does the job, but the lack of a integrated graphical workflow isn’t my cup of tea.

Has anyone found a good graphical markdown editor that can handle inline LaTeX and doesn’t pull a gigabyte of dependencies? Preferably also can render the final output to PDF.

    I don’t know about LaTeX support, but Joplin supports a lot of Markdown extensions out of the box (I’ve used it for Mermaid charts for example) and it’s Free software.

    Edit: it looks like Joplin supports something called Katex. I don’t know if that does it for you.

    Full details are here

    Ive started writing in typst. Its simple enough when doing not so complicated things, but an entire ecosystem is available the moment I want to do something complicated. But it does not have LOCAL graphical editor, but there is an online version you can use. Ive never tried it.
