Prettier gaurds move

[idvorkin]

I’m not sure what is going on or the exact repro. The symptom is sometimes the prettier gaurds that were around my toc marks move. A “phychic debugging” is the toc is written a few lines below it’s original line. I’ve tried a few things to isolate this, but haven’t found a consistent repro. I think it’s more likely if I hit save above the TOC, as opposed to below it, but sometimes I get a repro below as well. See video.

I’d like ideas on how to debug this (via logs or something)

[idvorkin]

Pushing to top, I now have more insight on the repro. I tried debugging but this vimscript-fu is beyond my abilities :)

A: First, you need to also have:

 Bundle 'plasticboy/vim-markdown'

B: Then you need to have a liquid front matter.

Now load a file that looks like this:

---
t:1
---
A
<!-- vim-markdown-toc GFM -->

- [Hello](#hello)

<!-- vim-markdown-toc -->
B
# Hello

Put your cursor on the line with text A, then :w Your file will be reformatted as follows (TOC now moved below the B):

---
t:1
---
A
B

<!-- vim-markdown-toc GFM -->

- [Hello](#hello)

<!-- vim-markdown-toc -->
# Hello

@idvorkin I'm sorry but I can't reproduce your phenomenon. Would you please provide more details, like your complete vim settings.

Thank you for the help! Simplified vimrc

I also observed a 100% repro if I load the file from disk and then do the save before making any other changes. @mzlogin

[mzlogin]

let g:vim_markdown_frontmatter = 1

If I remove this line, everything will work well. But I still don't know why.

[idvorkin]

Thx. If it's helpful, a theory I had (though didn't test) was folding is interfering with the view computations

I wondered if a different approach would help. Like instead of erase the toc guards, leave the guards, delete toc and re-insert toc.
