Dear Forum,

I am getting into Literate Data Analysis and find that the Markstat package is of great value. (Thanks @German Rodriguez).
I would have two practical questions:

#1 : The auxiliary files that are created clutter the working directories a lot. Is it possible to save them in a separate folder from the .stmd file? This also applies to tables/graphs that are created and then inserted with (e.g.) .include{figure.html}.

#2 : I would like to use a better performing text editor to edit the .stmd files that supports syntax highlighting. I have tried using Sublime Text 3 with (either/both) the StataEditor and the Multimarkdown packages. There is an good post on it https://maxmasnick.com/2017/09/22/markstat/ However, this does not work with strict code blocks under Markstat. Ideally i would like to combine highlighting the syntax for both (e.g. for Stata in the code blocks). This is possible for other languages (e.g. combining HTML with Python). Is this possible? What are alternatives / or experiences from other users?

Thanks a lot in advance?

Best,
Malte
