Didn't really do anything

Submitted by Mark Bratcher on Thu, 2021-07-22 20:17

I installed this plugin, but when I opened README.md I just got a raw text file.

Re: Didn't really do anything

Submitted by Mark Bratcher on Fri, 2021-07-23 10:55

Gah... nevermind, that was my bad.

But.... I did find that it doesn't seem to handle json code sections well. They ended up getting flowed as regular text.

Markdown in console window

Submitted by Joseph Newcomer on Wed, 2020-07-15 01:18

I am looking for a plugin that lets me write markdown annotations to the console (System.out.print and friends) to speed things up when I am debugging, so I can just click on a source link and be up working in my source, or on an input file:line so I can click on that and see where my input error is.  Does not need support for "normal" usage as a command line or icon-launched app, just for development.

Nice tool, but ...

Submitted by Igor Tykhyy on Sat, 2019-07-13 17:32

Hey there, thanks for a nice editor! However - that one feature, which I hoped it'd have, it apparently does not. I'd have liked it to support code-highlighting. There are online-editor, that support it, so I believe it might be possible, but of course since I did not add it myself, I can only but humbly ask you to add it if you can.

Nevertheless: thank you :)!

good...BUT What about code snippets?

Submitted by Guilhem Ane on Sat, 2017-10-07 23:35

Is there a way I can add fenced code with highlights? If not... Can it be added?

Here's what i'm thinking:

```java

//Some highlighted code here

```

That is GFM markdown extension by GItHub,
welcome to implement parser at https://github.com/winterstein/Eclipse-Markdown-Editor-Plugin

Real Time Preview as you type View screen updates

Does Real-time preview exist yet in the Markdown View?

At present, I find it a requirement to exit the Markdown Editor or leave the editor window for the newly typed text to appear in the Markdown View screen.

The plugin appears to be missing the update as you type feature... or I'm missing how to configure this option.

If it doesn't exist yet, is this a feature that you are considering added?

Markdown code support (e.g. DOT)

Submitted by Philip Saville on Fri, 2017-01-27 16:12

I'm enjoying using Markdown Editor. I'd like for my DOT code blocks to render too.

Is there any chance you will be adding code block support? And specifically support for calling DOT?
e.g.
```dot
graph a {
A -> B -> C;
}
```

YES - I need this too please.

Nested list not working?

Submitted by Gustav Klopp on Sat, 2015-10-17 03:55

Great plugin!
Unfortunately I can't get the nested list markdown, which is an important function for me...

+ first item
+ second item
+ third item
+ first nested item
+ second nested item
+ third nested item

(the entire nested list appears directly after 'third item', on one line without return)

EPL or LGPL?

Submitted by Rafael Chaves on Wed, 2015-07-22 11:08

The Marketplace listing states the license is LGPL:

License: LGPL

however the GitHub repository states it is EPL. Unsure which one is the right one.

pverest's picture

Of course sources were right.

Submitted by Paul Verest on Fri, 2015-07-24 14:11

Of course sources were right. Is it right for you?

Thanks for fixing the license

Thanks for fixing the license in the listing.

Prefer Mylyn wikitext

Submitted by Mickael Istria on Mon, 2015-06-29 11:00

Mylyn Wikitext ( https://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/WikiText ) provides another implementation of Markdown support, which I prefer to this one.

pverest's picture

Both are available within

Submitted by Paul Verest on Fri, 2015-07-24 14:20

Both are available within Enide 2015 http://www.nodeclipse.org/enide/2015
Comparing to Mylyn wikitext Markdown Editor has
- separate View for preview: you can edit looking at result
- better Dark theme support (not black text on black background)
- GitHub code blocks
- HtML comments

Task tags?

Submitted by David Dossot on Mon, 2015-02-09 13:32

I've switched from the WikiText Editor to this Markdown editor to get task tag support, but alas it doesn't seem to work or I can't get it to work.

My preferences contain this task tags list: TODO,FIXME,LATER

None of the following show in Eclipse's task list after saving an .md file:
> TODO test 1
TODO test 2
`TODO` test 3

Not sure how to make this work...

Not good

Submitted by Mariano Ruiz on Wed, 2013-10-30 15:36

The highlight is very poor, even titles are highlighted.

Thanks to Telmo Brugnara

Submitted by Paul Verest on Wed, 2014-04-30 02:09

With pull request https://github.com/winterstein/Eclipse-Markdown-Editor-Plugin/pull/37 by Telmo Brugnara the coloring is improved substantially.

Old links

Submitted by Paul Verest on Mon, 2013-07-01 01:19

I can't install anything from http://winterstein.me.uk/projects/tt-update-site/ references here,
and home page http://www.winterwell.com/software/markdown-editor.php references other update site http://winterwell.com/software/updatesite/ that has only 0.2.3

Where is 0.9 ?

dwintersteinqux's picture

0.9 vs 0.2

Submitted by Daniel Winterstein on Tue, 2013-09-10 08:14

Hello Paul,

Thank you for flagging this up.

The versioning changed when ThinkTank Mathematics closed and the project moved to Winterwell.
We'll do a 1.0 release soon to bring it inline with the old numbering.

The correct update site is: http://winterwell.com/software/updatesite/
I've updated the marketplace entry as you suggested.

Best regards,
- Daniel

good word wrap

Submitted by Lance E Sloan on Fri, 2011-08-26 10:00

I like this extension for the word wrapping, but I'm not sure of the other formatting features.
