Platforms Pros Cons
Atom Cross built-in markdown file preview
Emacs Cross
Gedit Cross print preview no code folding
Geany Cross print preview; Terminal
IntelliJ IDEA Cross
Notepad++ Win print line numbers, Right-click menu R syntax highlight not work with most themes
Qt Creator Cross split a window (even same file)
RStudio Cross folding, best IDE for R coding not support drag and drop a file but SendTo works
Sublime Cross
vi Cross
Visual Studio Code Cross Integrated Terminal, Markdown preview Should not include minimap function


HTML editors: see here.

Atom

  • Markdown Preview Enhanced. It allows to view in browser (html) or export to PDF but no R syntax highlight (cannot beat RStudio which takes a longer time to render). Note that pandoc conversion to html/PDF is not good; scripts part has no rectangle, tables have no separate lines.
