[New Plugin] MarkdownViewer++

nea

Ok, then maybe it came of wrong.

The MarkdownViewer++ does not render SVG files in Notepad++. It renders SVG files from sources, embedded inside a Markdown file. Sorry if that got of wrong.

As I mentioned, I wanted to focus first on Markdown files, even if direct SVG rendering would be possible right now.

There was an issue in an earlier version where the used renderer library didn’t support SVG natively. So, I added it… for according links/URLs in the Markdown file. That is what I fixed and what should work at the moment.

Sorry about any confusion

PS: If you like to see that feature in the future, maybe add it as issue and I will see how I can generalize the rendering functionality in the future ^^
Thanks

Ok, I see now.

@nea This is one of those times, I come across something and feel the need to slap myself on the forehead and go “DOOH” Homer Simpson-style… A lot of colleagues and I work A LOT with markdown since it’s fast to write, and very little effort to write a lot of descriptive text - for instance complex unstructured datasets while research is ongoing - and still make it look good and professional… only downside with describing datasets is, that there is NO way around not checking regularly to how it looks in output, especially since records or JSON sets can get very long - describing fields in blocks lining up with what could be a relationship… writing them in an online tool isn’t ideal and so wasn’t switching between windows either… and that’s why not thinking of a plugin myself or any colleague I regularly work together with, is pretty stupid actually for a bunch of scientists :-) Shows again that visionaries in one field, can be blind as a bat in a different field :-) I like the plugin a lot sofar and had no trouble in convincing others to give it a go… sending the link to your github did the trick :-) Thank you !

Would you consider a dark theme option for those of us that enjoy to work in the dark?

@nea ,

Thank you very much for that great tool ! Although I am already happy and have gotten more than I expected, I will gladly follow any improvement. One very little improvement for new users may be to set the “synchronize” checkmark to “on” as default, ;-) .

Hi everyone

After a long idle period (really sorry about that) I just updated to 0.8.0:

Changed CommonMark converter to Markdig to support more custom Markdown syntax such as Pipe Tables etc.
Updated PDFSharp and HTMLRenderer.PDFSharp accordingly (custom compilation, not in NuGet for the moment as HTMLRenderer has to merge my PR first!)
Updated the NPP.net Plugin Template

You can find the newest release at https://github.com/nea/MarkdownViewerPlusPlus/releases/tag/0.8.0

Regarding all the issues: I have not forgotten about them but have to find the time and will get onto them ^^

Cheers

Heyho

An unfortunate old bug stumbled back into release 0.8.0 why I just released a small update:

Fixed a bug cutting off text after 10000 characters
Changed parsing of custom CSS to recognize @import statements and have them lead

You can find the newest release at https://github.com/nea/MarkdownViewerPlusPlus/releases/tag/0.8.1

Really sorry about that

@nea

Are you still developing the MardownViewer++ plugin? It looks pretty stale on GitHub and there are some bugs with the upgrades to N++ / Scintilla during that timeframe. I still use it, but it could be improved. I don’t know C# and I can’t get Visual Studio to fetch the nuget packages it’s asking for. I’d be happy to contribute if only it was in C++.

Cheers.
