Does anyone know of an iOS text editor that supports navigating through notes by the nvALT links? ex [[Link1]]

I have been looking for this functionality, but didn't see it in the comparison matrix.

For me, three things are crucial in the iOS editor of my dreams (apart from a really nice ... err... editor interface):

<ol>
<li>

Multimarkdown support,

</li>
<li>

seamless Dropbox syncing in my choice of folder,

</li>
<li>

robust operation with rapid response to support requests.

</li>
</ol>

Elements (but no Multimarkdown, so rejected) and MarkNote (won't let me set the Dropbox folder) are the closest to meeting these requirements so far.

Fantastic roundup so far. Has led me to purchase and trial a 'few' more text-editors (dang it!

One request: a new column for 'Extended Keyboard Row is Customizable'

I'm waffling between Notesy (which I've used for awhile and is so dependable) and Writing Kit. Write Up looks nice too. Not one solves everything for me yet, as I'm sure many others find. Want my money back on Nebulous Notes (too much) and IA Writer (too little). Holding out hope for Byword as I LOVE the mac app!

Hi Brett, really like the comparison. I've only recently moved to an iPad and must admit at a massive disappointment. The most basic of all things; a file manager; is missing.

I was wondering if you could add a category to your comparison chart which is document management. What is the use in having a text editor, even one that syncs with the cloud, if you are unable to do simple tasks like duplicate or move documents? It essentially means you cannot even set up templates. This is a real killer for me on the ipad and each text editor is heavily scrutinised on this basis.
