option to hide markup #74

Open 517qf opened 6 years ago

I think if you could hide markup like ####, **, * (and only the bold heading/text etc. is shown) you could focus more on the content / grasp it more quickly because there are fewer visual distractions.

I came to this idea after seeing a markdown editor called typora. But this doesn't offer any zettelkasten/wiki features. I checked many popular notetaking programs that use markdown. I didn't find another one that offers to hide the markup.

sublime is flexible so maybe sublime offers an option/api that could be used? This would make sublime-zk even more unique.

Thanks for this great package. I just discovered semantic_zk - that's fantastic.

What comes to mind is a super hack: creating a copy of the color scheme on-the-fly, replacing the markup colors to barely visible, and switching to the new color scheme.

It would be hard to get right, I guess, but theoretically it is possible.

If the markup was completely invisible, I think it would make editing much harder/more unpleasant, as opposed to easier viewing...

Thanks for your replies. I apologize for being so late (but github didn't send a notification and not getting a response didn't surprise me: Dropping three huge feature "requests" at once might be considered rude and I could understand that you would ignore them ...

Completely hiding the syntax markers when writing text works quite well for me in typora: When writing I often read back and the less markers I see the better I can focus on the text (I think).

I continued looking and of course there's an emacs command for this, too: org-hide-emphasis-markers t which hides the surrounding markup signs (like ** for bold) but sets the surrounded text in this markup (the text is bold).

This option seems to be popular, at least it is in many public setup at github. At least I'm not alone in my preference ...

I mention emacs org-mode quite often. I have briefly tried it out just to notice that it's too complicated for me. I think for non-expert programmers setting it up is much too time intensive and then there are horror stories like this. So I'm very happy with Sublime and markdown.
