Gedit Plugin Markdown Preview Versions Save

new features:

• support gedit 44
• preview svg files
• insert markup from the right-click menu

bugs:

• load the extension when the file format extension is uppercase (.MD, .HTML, .SVG)
• fix #38
• better catch a few errors
• update the preview when the panel's visible plugin changes

• Enable auto-reloading by default
• Don't reload if the gedit view changes but not its content
• Don't reload more than once every 300ms, thus hugely improving performance
• The export dialog has been rewritten to be more intuitive to use

maybe it would be less ridiculous if there was at least one stable and usable release of this plugin? work-in-progress features have been removed so it looks simpler but more polished.

Surviving features include:

• Previewing:
  • preview the currently edited Markdown file using python3-markdown;
  • or, preview the currently edited Markdown file using pandoc;
  • preview the currently edited HTML file.
• Options:
  • select if you prefer to preview the file in the side or the bottom pane of Gedit;
  • only preview a portion of the file;
  • add CSS to your preview (markdown files only);
  • customize python3-markdown rendering with its various extensions of the markdown standard;
  • reload automatically the preview when the file is edited.
• Export:
  • export the preview as HTML using python3-markdown;
  • export the preview as various file formats using pandoc;
  • add CSS to the exported file.
