Better export plugin #299

Open diegogangl opened 4 years ago

diegogangl commented 4 years ago

The current export plugin is based on several dependencies that are dead for most distros or require serious hunting. This could be simplified by having a simpler plugin that exports to markdown. Then we can hook it up with pandoc to convert to html, pdf, latex, cuneiform, etc.

This way we only have one dependency that's well maintained and packaged.

A small note while I'm at it (and to avoid creating yet another ticket): currently the export plugin "almost" works, when running on Ubuntu it can be enabled and the "Export the tasks currently listed" (sic) menu item shows up in the main window's menubutton, however for some obscure reason that menu item cannot be selected, when you hover the mouse over it there is no selection highlight and you can't click it. It's as if it was insensitive, witohut being insensitive.

With current git version exporting is possible with 3/5 templates. There is an easy fix for PDF template (#833) and only simple text template has no fix at the moment (#832).
