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.
