Recommended Packages

There's a great post on the Atom.io discussion forum about Using Atom for academic writing that provides a nice little list of other Atom packages for use with writing. I've selected a few here that I feel apply equally well to writing fiction in YAML/Markdown using Atom.

  • advanced-open-file to quickly create new files.
  • document-outline to display a hierarchical, interactive outline tree view for document markup.
  • editorconfig to maintain consistent Markdown / YAML styles across editors.
  • linter-languagetool for spell & grammar checking using LanguageTool (you'll need to install LanguageTool separately).
  • typewriter to center the text in the editor.
  • wordcount because you just need this as a writer.
  • wrap-with-anything to text selections instead of replacing them when certain characters are typed.
  • zen for distraction free writing.

I think this package is bad news.

Good catch. Let us know what about this package looks wrong to you, and we'll investigate right away.
