lua-5.4 docs are all one giant document

[semanticart]

I Installed lua-5.4 docs and while the search terms populate correctly, selecting a term just sends you to the top of the 4k-line document.

It also renders the entire document in the preview field as you type which can be a little laggy.

I'm on the latest (at time of writing):

LMK if I can provide more details. I love this plugin.

Thanks for giving my plugin a try :). It is actually a known issue #1, I'm still making experiments with vim.fn.search(), please keep waiting a little bit, I'll try to fix this asap.

I'm also thinking about using asynchronous functions to avoid blocking.

[semanticart]

Thanks, and sorry for missing the existing issue.

It's fine. Concerning the lua docs and all the documentations in general I think it would be hard to always move directly to the section being searched. Here is a sample of the entries for the lua docs:

The path refers to the HTML class and id in the original HTML documentation but these are omitted when converting the HTML to markdown. The best we can do is to get the first part of the path which refers to the actual documentation entry. In the case of the lua docs, there's only one entry: index.

We could still use vim.fn.search() and make some assertions but it won't get it right every time.

Update: It's actually possible! And I'll track this issue in #17

[semanticart]

Awesome, thanks!

With #21, jumping works for normal files now. But for the moment it doesn't work in the picker previewer and when rendering with custom cmd.

Would it be possible to split the single file doc sources into multiple files during transpilation based on the headers, or whatever you're using to populate telescope entries?

Jumping works great now but it still takes a long time to render via glow and the telescope previewer needs to rerender when changing entries even though the content doesn't change.

Thanks for making this by the way!

[luckasRanarison]

That's what I'm going to do, thanks for your interest in the project.

Closing this as completed, see #42
