Support more Markdown formating #276

Open molikto opened 6 years ago

molikto commented 6 years ago

formats
- code blocks
- multi paragraph item like this
- numbered list
  1. item 1
    1. item 2
- ```
raw code
```
- pictures

This is not going to make Vimflowy a "rich editor" because the editing mode is still text-based, but the good thing about Vimflowy is it is easier to preview things (compared to Markdown live preview), so it should be more useful to have more formating

WuTheFWasThat commented 6 years ago

multiparagraph should work with shift+enter in insert mode

it may not be too hard to support these things - see src/plugins/html/index.tsx and src/plugins/latex/index.tsx for examples of similar plugins. you can already do those things via the html plugin, though html is definitely less nice than markdown!

molikto commented 6 years ago

After sometime trying out, I think the parser should directly support formating, not as a plugin. For example, I am migrating some old notes from Pandoc, and **$\omega$-accumulation point** is not displayed correctly.

I might write my own version of vimflowy using Kotlin and Kotlin.js... let's see -_-

WuTheFWasThat commented 6 years ago

yeah, I knew that having it as a plugin creates some limitations/issues, but I wanted it that way for other reasons.

whoah, cool! let me know if you do, I'd be interested in looking at the code and trying it out!

@WuTheFWasThat he did it! https://github.com/molikto/CherryTree

WuTheFWasThat commented 4 years ago

yeah, I tried an early version at some point! @molikto how has it been going?

molikto commented 4 years ago

I've been using it personally and satisfied with it, but I am no longer activity developing it anymore:

It is not a good suit for a commercial product: it is a very small market, maybe just me will need something like this. One of Vimflowy, Dynalist or plain Markdown will be preferred by most other people
I cannot get some fundamental idea right: I got distracted trying to create a node-level styling system such that can express logical structures of a document in a compossible way, but found problems like this (search "logical" paragraphs)

I would also really like the ability to handle mark down style web links. I don't think there's a way to shorten links at this point so I end up with just big ass URLs in my notes

WuTheFWasThat commented 4 years ago

not ideal, but there's an HTML plugin so that you can just inline raw html!

pull requests welcome to make it nicer :)
