Editors

TL;DR

To Preview a personal Wiki of Markdown Files use the following:

If mobile support is not important use Zettlr with a flat file structure.

If you are not concerned with FOSS look at Obsidian, Notable and Typora

Marktext: Cannot preview math of the form $$4x$$, a new line expression is required, a little frustrating because this is incompatible with iaWriter
ReText: Very High Performance, treat to use

Go to Edit –> Preferences and add mathjax to the list of extensions box Toggle to edit –> Use Webkit Renderer

These are note taking apps but used only in the context as a previewer and browser not comitting entirely to there philosophy.

Editor	Notable	VNote	Obsidian	Typora
Internal `[](./links.md)`	Yes	No <ref>Internal Links only work if you commit to using the VNote Notebook style, this litters the directory with `.json` files and It's a pain in the ass to maintain, essentially forcing you to use only vnote. Just like Zettlr, if a link is followed in editor mode, the link is opened in the default MD editor. I wonder if there is a reason for this? (e.g. vim has `gf` and `gx` for go to file and go external)</ref>
