Open-Source Linux & Android Markdown Editors that Support RTL
These are Linux Markdown editors that can display RTL text correctly (in editor, not preview) even between Latin text
Three Types:
Poor: No orientation, RTL text mixed-up with LTR making thus changing the text direction.
Limited: RTL words are not mixed up with LTR words, but the direction is incorrect. Usually, this is only the case in the editor view; the preview is usually of the poor type.
Complete: Direction+Organistion of RTL+LTR text fields. So far, no open-source Linux editor can do that, except the web based Morattab (sobhe.ir/moratab). Other apps that belong to this category are usually not editors and thus aren't considered (except a few picks in the section below)
Honrable Mentions:
Scarlet Notes (Android): Complete support, but uses own format. No editing from other devices.
Pure Writer (Andorid): Complete support for RTL in editor and preview, but uses its own format with no ability to edit from another device. Closes-source.
Others:
Ramz - ramz.netlify.app : visually-pleasing Web editor. Supports RTL exclusively.
RTL Markdown rtlmd.codecast.ir: even simpler, but has that same problem

Comments and Reviews
Vnote shows formatting, including rendered MathJax/LaTeX, in its source code mode. In my opinion, this is the best feature.
This is different from Mark Text and Typora, which allow you to edit in either source code mode (no MathJax rendering but you see all characters) or the default live preview mode (all Markdown formatting is rendered, but this hides formatting characters for things like bold or MathJax equations).
VNote uses a lot more resources than other similar editors, like Zim or Obsidian, while providing many less functions.
I really like how it is laid out, and that it is portable.
But I don't like how it puts .json attached to all notes, even .txt. It would make it very annoying when using it as basic folder notes in windows explorer, or importing to another note-taking app.
Excellent notes app, uses .md files so everything's in plain text and easily readable. Also has support for extensions which allow MathJax equations and graphs.
