iainc / markdown-content-blocks Goto Github PK

This command automates the creation of a file with a list of all file names in the current folder preceded with /, to be used with iA Writer.

ls -m1 * | sed 's/^/\//'>> file-list.md

It would be nice to create a macOS service or workflow, asking the user to input the name of the file to be created inside the same directory.

IA's content blocks are really useful to my workflow and I use them a lot. They would be much more useful if the metadata of trancluded blocks was hidden the same way it is in their own preview. Could this be done? Thanks.

Right now the spec says that an online image URL

includes: • a period, followed by one of the following path extensions: png jpg jpeg gif tif tiff.

This definition matches for example the string https://www.gifs.com, which is clearly not an image URL.

I guess changing “includes” to “ends with” would be too restrictive: some valid image URLs might include query strings. How does iA Writer internally detect online image URLs?

I'm using iA Writer together with Pandoc and have written a simple script to take care of file transclusion. While doing so, I found that there are some things you may want to clarify in the specs:

You use only relative paths in your examples, but to which directory are these paths relative? Suppose, I have three files: root.markdown, dir/foo.markdown, and dir/subdir/bar.markdown, and I want to transclude dir/subdir/bar.markdown in dir/foo.markdown and dir/foo.markdown in root.markdown. What would I say in dir/foo.markdown? That is, would I have to say /dir/subdir/bar.markdown or /subdir/bar.markdown?

Also, may I give absolute paths? Like, presumably, so: //absolute/path.markdown?

Don’t get me wrong, I can figure that out by trial and error, but, I find, this should be covered by the spec.

Is there a way to add a (css) class to a content block? Especially for images. E.g. to create left/right floating images in the document?

Hello,

does the Languages.json file fall under the CC BY-SA license? I would like to include the file in the witiko/markdown package. The package is LPPL-licensed, however, which violates the Share-Alike clause.

I’m trying to write a small implementation of Markdown-Content-Blocks in Go, with the goal of processing docs written in iA Writer. It would be nice to have a public test suite to be sure my implementation matches iA Writer’s implementation.

Apps like dendron allow portions of a document to be transcluded into another document

https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f1af56bb-db27-47ae-8406-61a98de6c78c/

This is useful for referencing only a portion of the document, and for quoting important parts of a document you have written in another document.

Often I run a program e.g. python x.py > res.txt and want to include the output res.txt as a code block in iA using content blocks. Obviously, using the .txt extension will include it as normal text. As a workaround I sometimes use another extension e.g. res.r, but it would be nice if either there was a general extension like .out or .code, or if I could state explicitly when including the file that it should be a code block.

You currently have this example among others:

/Savings Account.csv 'Recent Transactions'

To enable future extensions, literal spaces should be disallowed in file paths, i.e. URLs.

/Savings%20Account.csv 'Recent Transactions'

I think it would be a bad idea to support any alternative escape syntax as found in shells and programming languages, e.g.:

/Savings\ Account.csv 'Recent Transactions'
/Savings\_Account.csv 'Recent Transactions'
/Savings_Account.csv 'Recent Transactions'
/Savings Account.csv 'Recent Transactions'
/Savings Account.csv 'Recent Transactions'
(/Savings Account.csv) 'Recent Transactions'
"/Savings Account.csv" 'Recent Transactions'
