- susam 7y agoMarkdeep is a great project and supports a lot of impressive features. TeXMe on the other hand takes a minimalist approach. There are some fundamental differences between the two tools. For example, in Markdeep, the user input goes into the <body> element whereas in TeXMe the user input goes into the <textarea> element. The choice of <textarea> element was made in TeXMe to make Markdown rendering more robust. Copy-pasting a valid Markdown code into Markdeep may not always render correctly without further editing. By the way, TeXMe also supports content in <body> as an optional feature. Further, Markdeep does not care about conforming to the CommonMark spec whereas TeXMe does. If you care about CommonMark spec, TeXMe is a good choice. However, if you need additional features like tables, diagrams, etc., Markdeep is a good choice.
