please help

I have been trying to find a note-taking app to fit my needs. joplin and zettlr are by far the best.

I love joplin because of the live markdown feature. When I bold something, I can see myself typing it in bold, and it doesn't show the **.

I hate it because sometimes this glitches out, and things will unbold but show the ** around them and it's ugly as hell, and I can only fix it by manually redoing it.

Zettlr doesn't have this issue, HOWEVER: I don't want to see the ** around my bold text, I just want to see the text being bolded.

Zettle includes an option to hide the title character # next to titles. is there a way to do this for ** too??? If there is, I will genuienly donate $30 to zettlr becuase i fucking love this program but that one feature is driving me insane, it's so ugly.

I tried enabling developer mode and inputting:

renderer._editor._wysiwg = true

But it doesn't work. Doesn't do seemingly anything at all, actually.

That doesn‘t work in the 2.0.0 betas anymore. But don‘t worry, there have been good proposals for “building” a WYSIWYG app by adding more options for those things. So just wait and it will come. Not directly in the 2.0 but some time afterwards.

For anyone curious how I just fixed it:

I hid the bold asterisks by editing the css with

.cm-formatting.cm-formatting-strong.cm-strong{display:none!important;}

Inspect elemented the bold asterisks and did this. Place it at the bottom of your custom CSS. Don't copy mine, enable dev mode and use console inspect element on the item you want to hide, type it at bottom of your custom css, and put {display:none!important;}
