Describe the feature

Add the possibility to combine the preview and the editor zone into one. This could be one of the best improvements to the edition of markdown files.

There are some examples, like Obsidian, and stackedit.

Environment

I am currently on windows, but i used it on Linux machines that i own.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Zed does not appear to render png files that are listed in the markdown.

e.g. if png/myimage.png exists then <img src="png/myimage.png" /> should render the image in the preview.

I tested this in Zed and don't see the image.
The same markdown renders the image in VSCode.

@aaelony You are right, that might be a bug.

But this is a different issue, I invite you to open a new one.

Thanks @Omar-Elrefaei, fair enough. I'll open a new issue on that.
update: New issue is here.

Thanks for posting this @feraxhp. It's surprising that there's little activity on this issue and I was wondering if there are related issues that this would depend on or duplicates.

With that said, it would be useful to have a breakdown on what this entails both in terms of Zed as well as generally for Markwdown WYSIWYG goal - it seems to be a project in itself.

I wonder if there are reusable components for this particulalry anything that would be within the same performance/latency spirit as Zed.

Also are there other Zed rendering pieces that would be relevant to this?

Sorry @clehene, I don't have the answer to those questions, I think that when zed releases the final plugin API it will be possible, for now, I just surrender on waiting for this feature.
