Mostly OK but useless for tables
Submitted by Michael Moser on Fri, 09/01/2023 - 15:02
The editor is OK and helpful for several MD constructs (links, headers, etc.) but causes major trouble with tables. All kind of special characters (quotes, minus signs, round or square brackets, etc.) cause it to garble a table completely. Very annoying!

To anyone looking for the live pre-view inside Eclipse, this has been replaced by showing the preview in the browser, outside of Eclipse. Talk about this can be found in issue 58 of the Fluentmark project on github, I would post the link, but the comment-system doesn't allow it.

This is REALLY nice

Congrats to the authors. This plugin is very configurable. I was looking simply for something that allows me to preview markdown files, but this does so much more:
Using it with 2020-09 Eclipse.
P.S. To see the live preview you need to open the 'FluentMark View' ; just mentioning this because I saw a few reviews below saying 'all it does is color the headers green'.
Preview does not work for me
Submitted by Jozsef Frigo on Wed, 08/26/2020 - 08:07
The headings are green - that's all the difference for me between Fluentmark and the simple text editor.
Did not find in the docs how to switch it on. Even Google search did not help to get closer.
How to create PDF?

It asks for a template - where do I get one, how do I create one? Missing documentation?

Your server certificate is named for www.newtechlaw.com, but the host name is certiv.net, hence it does not work.

Great plugin, close to perfection
Submitted by Amenel Voglozin on Sun, 08/25/2019 - 13:04
I've tried this plugin in order to escape my two frustrations with the WikiText editor for Makdown: the faulty display of sublists and the lack of support for tables.
This plugin, just installed on 2019-06 (4.12.0) is more satisfying to me even though it's not perfect yet to my eyes. I've submitted issues so that what I see as kinks could possibly be ironed out.
The set of features is impressive, but the support of Outline view and formatting, especially the automatic formatting of tables, are winners to me.
Installing it was not easy for some reason
Submitted by Igor Tykhyy on Sat, 07/13/2019 - 17:52
For some reason I couldn't install it by just dropping the Install-"Button" onto Eclipse. Furthermore when installing several items from Certiv, it wouldn't really let me because of a version conflict when picking Certiv Tools and FluentMark.
Anyhow: the Markdown-editor is awesome! It responds well (auto-update when I am writing) and the rendering is nice - especially with several stylesheets. Thank you!
Breaks Eclipse Photon

This plug-in renders Eclipse Photon unsable with a loop exception. Full report at Bugzilla:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=537062
Avoid installing.

In reply to Breaks Eclipse Photon by Luís de Sousa
Verify that you are using the most recent version (v1.1.1). What you report is a known problem with an old version.
If the Marketplace is serving up an old version, then go directly to the Certiv Tools update site at www.certiv.net/updates.
Pandoc encoding problem
Submitted by Stefan Gruber on Wed, 09/06/2017 - 04:31
When I use pandoc in fluentmark as conversion filter in Eclipse under Windows 10, I get an encoding error like this when I am using special characters linke "öüä":
In Eclipse all (project and file) is set to UTF-8. I think it is a fluentmark problem, because when I do a "pandoc -o ..." on command line, all works perfect.

Auto-scrolls the editor
Submitted by Pavel Vlasov on Fri, 05/12/2017 - 11:29
I do a search, it finds what I need and then the editor scrolls it out of view. To reproduce use this document - https://github.com/Nasdanika/server/blob/master/org.nasdanika.cdo.web/d…;- search for renderTypedElementView.

Find works correctly for me -- the editor scrolls to the text found and no further scrolling of the editor takes place.
