Have you tried setting skip_default_stylesheet
in your settings? What I am curious about is whether skip_default_stylesheet
is working as expected, or is it actually not overriding the original setting. If skip_default_stylesheet
doesn't respond as you expect when not using yaml frontmatter, then the problem is probably not the frontmatter, but either the understanding of the setting's use, or an actual issue with the setting.
Without any YAML at the beginning of my document and with skip_default_stylesheet
set to true
in my user settings file. The previewed document still ends up with the default stylesheet in the document and it is applied. I would expect to see a difference in formatting of the previewed document between skip_default_stylesheet: true
and skip_default_stylesheet: false
The browser
, enabled_parsers
, and markdown_filetypes
settings in my user settings file all work as expected.
Okay, then it is probably an issue with the setting, or the understanding of how the setting works, and not the YAML override. I will take a look a the setting when I get some time and see if there is something that isn't obvious and undocumented about it. Maybe there is a bug.
Any movement on this?
skip_default_stylesheet
doesn't seem to have any effect from either the settings file or YAML in the document.
With "strip_yaml_front_matter": false
the "settings" section in the YAML is converted to a named meta
tag in the output html <meta name="settings" content=",skip_default_stylesheet: true">
@s7726, sorry this has been low priority for me. I've been meaning to take a look at some of these issues, I've just had other things I've had to attend to.
If I can, I'll try to get back to this in the next couple of days. If I don't get to it by the end of the week, feel free to ping this thread again.
Digging a little deeper it appears skip_default_stylesheet
has no affect unless html_template
is set. html_template
has to be set to a fully qualified path. I think this could be workable if it was modified to accept a relative path from the in document YAML. Either way it's confusing that you have to use a custom template to not have the default stylesheet.
I would expect to be able to have:
test.mmd
---
title: Test
settings:
skip_default_stylesheet: true
---
# Test File
And then be able to setup my own css in test.css
(via "allow_css_overrides": true
) but have it use the normal default template.
The css
setting would also be helpful to take relative paths when parsed from the YAML.
Yeah, I'll take a look at that. I didn't design the part about skip_default_stylesheet
, but I vaguely remember people asking questions about it before which is why I had mentioned there might be a misunderstanding of how it worked.
On top of possibly reworking this setting, I really think this project needs a documentation site. Even if the behavior of skip_default_stylesheet
remains the same, I think some actual organized documentation would be helpful. Currently, the settings file is the documentation.
This will be covered by #393
Using the proceeding along with
"strip_yaml_front_matter": true,
(or false) in my MarkdownPreview.sublime-settings file I can't get the settings to be overridden.Ultimately I want to override the template as well, but I moved to just trying this after I realized part of my problem could have been how I'm passing the path.
Is there a trick I'm not seeing?
