plugin markdown #757

Open l337quez opened 6 years ago

l337quez commented 6 years ago

the markdown plugin seems to be out of date, I wanted to place a box with python code and the code will be highlighted, but in egeany with the plugin is not highlighted. I want to know if it is a problem in the installation of the plugin or that it is actually outdated. In case of being outdated, I want to help. how can I do it

You could try applying #747 and see if it works?

I don't believe either the original or cmark spec discusses syntax highlighting at all. If you can get it added to CommonMark, then it will "just work" in the Markdown plugin.

@codebrainz @elextr I saw that I had not installed cmark, I installed it, but the error persisted I saw a commonmark in the repositories of ARCH but it says Arch Linux - python-commonmark .. I do not know what I should do to make it work

...but the error persisted...

What error?

To be clear, syntax highlighting of code blocks is NOT part of "standard" Markdown. If you get it added to the CommonMark specification, that is, by working with the CommonMark group and convincing them to make it a standard feature, once it's in the standard and implemented, it will just work in the Geany Markdown plugin. Until then, installing patches or extra packages won't help.

hope geany to get back markdown plugin into its release, for now I have to use other editors as markdown is essential these days.

codebrainz commented 5 years ago

@laoshaw a bit off topic for this issue, but Markdown is still part of Geany-Plugins as always. If it's missing from your distribution packages, you should file a bug report or use a more stable distro.
