- Markdown preview feature is OK but it cannot export to pdf or HTML.
- pandoc conversion to html/PDF is not good; scripts part has no rectangle, tables have no separate lines.
- Markdown Preview Enhanced. It allows to view in browser (html) or export to PDF. Use r instead of R for R language syntax highlight. Another nice feature is the scrollings of the markdown file and preview are together.
