Smartypants extension

[charlesroper]

Is there any chance the Smartypants module could be added please?

@charlesroper Did you find a solution to this?

@revolunet sublime-markdown-preview is great. I understood from the sample.md that 3rd party extensions are possible to be included. smarty is in the list of officially supported extensions to python-markdown but I have no clue how to integrate/configure this into sublime-markdown-preview or if this is actually possible at all. Any help would be more than welcome. Thanks a lot.

No.

You should add this module inside the markdown/extensions folder then add this to the plugin settings :

extensions=['smartypants(entities=named)']

tell me if it works

From what I understand, the smartypants extension has a least two other dependencies, but theoretically it can be done.

@revolunet Thanks for the feedback. I have not really understood where or in which file you would want me to include the

extensions=['smartypants(entities=named)']

There is nothing like this in the MarkdownPreview.sublime-settings. I also cannot find any file that has plugin settings.

Independent of this I made some further research. The smartypants extension was introduced in version 2.4 as one can read here in the official package. Unfortunately your package only has version 2.3.1. So I am not sure if the extension with smartypants in version 2.3.1 is actually possible at all.

But I have tried and replaced the markdown directory in Markdown Preview package with the one from the newest version of the Python-Markdown here, but then Markdown Preview does not work any longer. Sorry and thanks again for your help. Cheers.

Not sure if an upgrade is needed, but I was considering looking into how hard an update would be. I think some of the sublime specific stuff should be pushed out of the markdown lib if possible.

[karland]

Well, thanks. I am looking forward to it.

[facelessuser]

I looked at this over lunch. Upgrading should go smooth. The differences aren't major, it is mainly improvements and bug fixes etc.

[karland]

Sounds good...

SmartyPants aka smarty and upgrade to 2.4.1 is in pull request #201

smarty is confirmed to be working in ST2 and ST3

When I've done some more testing and pushed it to the main branch, you will be able to set it up like so:

    "enabled_extensions":
    [
        "extra",
        "toc",
        "codehilite",
        "b64(base_path=${BASE_PATH})",
        "magiclink",
        "delete",
        "githubemoji",
        "tasklist",
        "smarty"  // <-- That is it (you can read instructions here
                       //        http://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/smarty.html
                       //        to learn how to turn off certain conversions)
    ],

Works perfectly. Many thanks. I am impressed....

[revolunet]

yep thanks @facelessuser
