I’m putting together .jmd examples for a few packages- to build pdfs, jupyter notebooks and package documentation.

Does anyone have a good workflow for working with jmd? In both vim and Atom I struggle to actually use and update the jmd files because I have no way to manually run the code line by line, and the code is hard to read as it lacks syntax highlighting.

Ok to answer my own question [language-weave](https://atom.io/packages/language-weave) helps a lot for atom. I didn’t see it in the Weave docs but its adctually in the readme.

Vim support is also on the way [https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl/issues/248](https://github.com/JunoLab/Weave.jl/issues/248)

In the juno setting, you can modify the scopes from which you can use ctrl-enter to eval lines using Julia. I have added markdown code blocks there, as well as latex algorithm blocks, so that I can eval Julia code no matter where it appears 😃

VS Code also supports jmd files, including a preview render story.
