Markdown Preview Enhanced is an editor extension that provides a rich live preview of Markdown files with support for math (KaTeX/MathJax), diagrams (Mermaid, PlantUML), table of contents, and Pandoc export. It was originally an Atom package and is now primarily maintained as a VSCode extension.

- render mermaid diagrams inside markdown notes
- write math equations in markdown with katex
- export markdown to pdf or html via pandoc

When to choose
