IDEs should have an export function

Tooling

IDEs like Atom should have a drop-down export function. There is nothing more frustrating than working for hours on a document and spending more hours fighting with a function like Weave to make a pdf, html, or latex.

This is kinda to the side of the actual code, and it really is a disadvantage, for a language meant for number crunching.

Export of what?

3

A printable document like a pdf.

4 
 weave("ECON214Assignment3.jl", out_path = "C:/Users/brett/OneDrive/Documents/", doctype = "md2pdf")

like so I don’t have to get this to work, to print something.

The VS Code extension for Julia has a command Julia Weave: Save to file... and then you can pick a file type you want to export to and it will weave the content of the currently active jmd file into that format. I think that is what you are looking for, right?

Questions like this should go into the Tooling category.

IDEs like atom are community built and would welcome your contribution of such a feature.

Install VS Code, then install the Julia extension from its marketplace.
