From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No joke, Emacs has the ability to render in line markdown, essentially the current line is just text, while the rest of the doc is rendered as markdown titles, links, lists, etc. It's my favourite way of editing markdown but I've never found another editor that does markdown like that. Everything else has text and rendered markdown side by side as separate panes, which I personally hate.
Edit: I stand corrected. Neovim has it too: https://github.com/MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim
This sounds amazing. I've been using markdown-mode for ages now though, and I've never come across this feature.
How do you enable this?
Some people over at reddit seem to suggest that the functionally you speak of doesn't exist, except in the form of a proof of concept snippet over at SO.
EDIT: Said snippet would probably be sufficient, if it handled codeblocks correctly (stuff in between
```
). At the moment, it handles them miserably (maybe because they are multineline elements?)
