An editor with markdown syntax highlighting or preview helped me learn markdown and still helps me understand the ambiguities and subtleties of markdown. It is essential with deeper nesting.

I was surprised by the ambiguities and subtleties of markdown. I was surprised that Atom's markdown preview does not yet match the rendering on github.

Or consider some of the bug reports verses pope / vim-markdown:

  * #60: inappopropriate italic: foo_<any non-alphanumeric character>bar
  * #42: Bold links not being recognized
  * #37: Incorrect processing of "_"
  * #27: Ending an italic section with an escaped asterisk isn't parsed properly

After first authoring in vim, my preferred markdown editor with preview is http://pad.haroopress.com/ by @rhiokim (open source is promised). Scrolling synced between editor and preview is one of the killer feature.

I found preview very useful when working recently on https://github.com/lloydde/sdc-1/blob/doc-coal-setup-rewrite...
