MarkdownLivePreview

Acknowledgments

This project is a fork of MarkdownLivePreview by math2001. I'm grateful for the original implementation, which provided a solid foundation for live Markdown preview in Sublime Text.

Many thanks to math2001 for the original code—this fork wouldn't have been possible without their work.

Changes contained in this Fork

In this fork (christian.morpurgo/MarkdownLivePreview), I've made the following enhancements:

• Bundled bs4 and soupsieve
  Repackaged both libraries as standalone modules by rewriting their imports, resolving errors when Sublime Text 4 attempted to install these old versions as external dependencies.

• font_scale option
  Added a new font_scale: number setting to allow users to increase or decrease the preview text size directly from their Sublime Text settings.

• In-window preview
  Changed the preview behavior so that starting a preview reuses the current window instead of opening a new one.

A simple plugin to preview your markdown as you type right in Sublime Text. No dependencies!

How to install

It's available on package control!

Setting a keybinding

The open the preview, you can search up in the command palette (ctrl+shift+p) MarkdownLivePreview: Open Preview. But if you prefer to have a shortcut, add this to your keybindings file:

{
    "keys": ["alt+m"],
    "command": "open_markdown_preview"
}

How to contribute

If you know what feature you want to implement, or what bug you wanna fix, then go ahead and hack! Maybe raise an issue before hand so that we can talk about it if it's a big feature.

But if you wanna contribute just to say thanks, and don't really know what you could be working on, then there are a bunch of FIXMEs all over this package. Just pick one and fix it :-)

$ git clone https://git.0x42.cloud/christian.morpurgo/MarkdownLivePreview
$ cd MarkdownLivePreview
$ grep -R FIXME

Hack it!

1. Fork this repo
2. Make your own branch (the name of the branch should be the feature you are implementing eg. improve-tables, fix-crash-on-multiple-preview
3. All your code should be formated by black.
4. Send a PR!

Known limitations

Numbered lists are rendered as unordered lists

1. first
2. second
3. third

will be previewed the exact same way as

- first
- second
- third

The issue comes from Sublime Text's minihtml which doesn't support ordered lists. If you think feel like implementing a workaround, feel free to contribute, but it's not something I'm planning on doing. It isn't a critical feature, and support should come with time...
