Open a URL? #833

Closed danielshahaf closed 2 years ago

danielshahaf commented 2 years ago

If I have a URL to a markdown file, can I have dillinger open that file? Ideally, by passing the URL to dillinger in the URL (i.e., https://dillinger.io.example/?url=https://foo.example.com/bar.md)? The file isn't in github/dropbox/*; it's just a random HTTP GET-able file.

Sorry if this is documented elsewhere, but I couldn't find the answer in the docs / issues / searching (by the way, neither of the alternatives in that stackoverflow post works now).

We don't support this functionality

Thanks for the answer. You might want to view this as a feature request. My use-case for this was that I wanted to link someone to an HTML-rendered version of markdown documentation from the latest commit in a random branch (i.e., documentation of tip of master, rather than of the latest release). Cheers!
