Hello,

I've been thinking about this for a while.

Markdown format has gained a lot of traction in the last few years.

I think U++ and TheIDE can benefit from this (for example, TheIDE or any U++ app using QTF can display markdown formatted text it its intended form, using a MD -> QTF conversion).

To this end, I propose encapsulating the MD4C ("Markdown for C") library.

It does not take much space, comes as a single header and source file, is multiplaform (Win, POSIX), easy to encapsulate, and very fast.

It has MIT license.

Here is the MD4C's github link: https://github.com/mity/md4c

What do you think?

(I can get it ready for U++ 2020.2 release)

Best regards,
Oblivion

Ok,

I have started implementing the parser. Hopefully the first official version of it will be available around September if not earlier.

That would be great, as we could have the same help files visible in GitHub and U++ web portals, and in U++ apps. Smile

Yeah, well, but we would need QTF->MD for that I guess instead Smile Which is doable too, but harder.

At least, the MD->QTF is good for the new helps.

Hi,

A small update and news:

The MD -> QTF converter plugin/wrapper is progressing nicelty.
All the basic stuff (headers, character styles, URL and image links) is done. The more complex stuff (lists & tables) have proven to be somewhat more difficult to convert to qtf. (they can contain more elements than what qtf allows), but there is progress on that side too. So, at least a primitive form of table and list support will hopefully land in first release. Not to mention that I am working on qtf styles supports for md blocks and spans.

A screenshot of the early wersion of -possible- reference example (MarkdownEditor):

index.php?t=getfile&id=6184&private=0

Hi,

Another small update/nws.

Markdown to qtf converter is progressing nicely.
After some wrestling with "loose" lists, I have managet to map complex DOM model to qtf.

A screenshot:

index.php?t=getfile&id=6229&private=0


Unfortunately the package won't be available in the upcoming upp 2020.2 release. But I'll probably send the initial version in couple of weeks.

Best regards,

Oblivion

What is the status? I feel like this would be useful with UppHub.... (we could display github readme in theide)

Even partially working solution would be fine for now.

Mostyly done, except image loading mechanism, styling api and some cleanup. If it's OK, I'll upload it with the editor/converter example on next monday or tuesday (21-22), after I cleanup the code this weekend.
Then I'll start working on completing the missing parts.

Hello Mirek,

FYI, I have delayed the initial release several more days.
The reason is I couldn't find time to finalize it earlier and I don't want to publish a sphagetti-code just because "it works".
I'm in the process of streamlining it, and I'll release it, this weekend.

I am really sorry for the delay. And thank you for your patience.

Best regards,
Oblivion

Good news!
It would be useful for me also. I'm almost at the point starting to code my own parser.
BTW, your OAuth code is extremely useful in one of my a projects also. I added some extra to it. Are you open to get my paches to that?

Don't bother, It is almost ready. You don't want to dive into that hell. Very Happy

Sure, I'd be more than happy to enhance the OAuth code and receive contributions (which you will be credited for)!
