[?]Boot Debian Live image with Grub loopback loop line with Debian iso
My illustrious Team Members,
Acting on your advice on the Realtek thread, I have downloaded a Live
ISO of Debian Buster debian-live-10.8.0-amd64-lxde.iso and proceeded
from there.
I had created a lot of unnecessary noise (at that time, unduly made
anxious by no help received) across many List pages and Debian Forums.
The Legacy Grub2 issue has since been bypassed.
The Noises:
(1) Since 2015, my following question at Debian Forum lies unanswered:
[Boot Debian Live images with Grub2 loopback loop]
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=121092
Then there were these posts too to debian-b...@lists.debian.org,
debian...@lists.debian.org, pkg-grub-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net,
and debian-l...@lists.debian.org, with the subject line:
[Four(4) problems, individually mentioned by three(3) emails and the rest]
at https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2019/09/msg00020.html
The limitations were gradually overcome by support received from
Debian leaders and persistent brain-storm.
I was able to make a satisfactory loopback loop line.
Inspired by the Debian-Live ISO, boot/grub/grub.cfg file, I could
reach thus far:
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux 10.8.0 Live amd64" {
echo 1
set isofile="/debian/debian-live-10.8.0-amd64-lxde.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,gptx)$isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64 boot=live components
splash quiet "${loopback}"
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img-4.19.0-14-amd64
submenu "Debian Live with Localisation Support" {
menuentry "English (en)" {
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64 boot=live components
locales=en_US.UTF-8 quiet splash
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img-4.19.0-14-amd64
}
}
}
Then I was able to reach only up to (initramfs), snapshot at the
following Link: http://bit.do/Debian10-8-0_stallingHere
I most humbly request you to please be a little patient with me as I
am not as gifted as you are in these matters.
Best.

Доброе утро, товарищ Виктор! ;) If I recall correctly, Ghostwriter is designed towards writing/editing markdown text with a real-time almost-identical rendering preview, but still letting you see the actual "code". So, from your description, maybe something like Formiko in preview-mode (`formiko -p file_name`) will do the trick - and it's in the official Debian repos. Hope this serves your purpose.

I realised afterward, I had downloaded it, but obviously conditions have changed. None of this was obvious then. I just downloaded the beta from here: https://typora.io/#linux Once it's in your apt.sources list, it pulls in all the pandoc and other packages required (a considerable number). But the amount of space and the loading time I didn't like, so uninstalled it. I have still to check out ghostwriter. Cheers!

I could have sworn I'd already done it (since it is, after all, perhaps the most obvious step) and found nothing, but on re-checking, while one of the three has nothing the other two are tagged with the 'artist' "Slashdot - The Sync".

Many editors (vim, mousepad) can highlight Markdown syntax, but it's a different matter. I'd like the previewer to display rendered Markdown nicely with fonts, hyperlinks, numbered lists etc. If you don't hate Microsoft, then I have found that the the markdown editor plugin for VSCode works very nicely. You get two side by side panes, one a monospace text editor for the markdown with syntax highlighting, and next to it a live preview of rendered markdown. The editor includes a syntax checker.

This may be due to the fact that, if you look closely, Markdown is a monster. There are many variants, a significant subset of them allows a varying subset of HTML (which one?) as an extension, and quite a few are just specified by some single implementation. It is one of those extremely interesting cases where a clear strength (simplicity, under-specification: thus I can hack something together over a weekend in Perl; since I'm rendering to HTML anyway, if table support isn't enough... well, duh, I can pass-through tables and so on) can turn around.

Simply open the Markdown file and press Ctrl+K, V to get a live side-by-side preview. If you want something command-line based, then you need to convert the Markdown code to code that some other renderer will understand. Pandoc (https://packages.debian.org/buster/pandoc) can do that for you with a simple "pandoc -o README.html README.md" or "pandoc -o README.pdf README.md" etc. If you are on KDE there is ReText.
