Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's not supported yet.

Currently, under Windows 7 x64 / Sublime Text 3 build 3008, MarkdownPreview returns the following error:

Also, it looks like Will Bond's PackageControl will require a new package.json to support the 2 vs. 3 difference

Can you please add a command to generate the HTML from the markdown source and just show it in a new tab?

It should be 99% the same to the current proccess, but showing the result in Sublime Text instead of a browser window (prefferably without the CSS).

Hi, I'm facing an issue with this plugin on a LinuxMint distribution (v13). Can't get it to launch the preview. In the console, i've got :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./sublime_plugin.py", line 356, in run_
  File "./MarkdownPreview.py", line 92, in run
  File "./desktop/__init__.py", line 277, in open
OSError: Desktop 'X11' not supported (neither DESKTOP_LAUNCH nor os.startfile could be used)

It might be a configuration problem but which one ?

I first add a comment on #2 and figure out later that it was closed so there aren't any chance to get it known...

open a new ST or browser tab with markdown cheat sheet

I use a tiling window manager, which apparently means I can't use this plugin.

It seems it's checking which Desktop Manager is running to determine which GUI dialog tool should be available. I only glaced through the code, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Two questions come to mind:

• Are the dialog boxes absolutely needed for the basic functionality of this plugin? Or could it still offer some working subset without dialog boxes?
• Could you test which GUI toolkit is available, instead of which window manager is running? (Smells like browser detection.)

Should it matter to this plugin which window manager the user is running? I have no problem installing zenity or Xdialog to make it work, but there's no way in hell I'm using Gnome, Mate or KDE.

I have installed Livereload plugin in sublime text and chrome. I am editing a markdown file and have https://github.com/revolunet/sublimetext-markdown-preview installed. I make an edit and press ctrl+shift+P -> preview in browser and chrome opens up an html file. Now I enabled livereload on that page. I also have enabled the file:// urls for this plugin. Now when I make any changes to my markdown file, the changes don't get reflected in chrome.

According to the github markdown cheatsheet:

__This will also be bold__

Will render as:

<strong>This will also be bold</strong>

as you can see: This will also be bold

When previewing in Sublime (with "parser": "github") I get:

<p>__This will also be bold__</p>

I don't the preview on save feature is handy, sometime it even a annoy to me.
When I save markdown file, it not mean I want to preview the file. I save file frequently much.
It will better if there is option to turn on/off this.

Is there a way to have the headers add anchor's like in the readme.md's. Default compiler does this but the github compiler does not.

I am using lubuntu 12.04 a version of ubuntu with the LXDE environment http://lxde.org/ and the command "Preview in browser" is not working but "Preview in sublime text" works.

After updating to the latest Sublime Text 2, I've been getting this error sporadically when running markdown_preview:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is using Markdown Preview version 2012.08.12.18.21.50. Here's my Sublime Text build version:

Version: 2.0.1
Build: 2217

I would recommend the MIT License.

I'm not sure what caused this but under certain circumstances list-items are being shown as md5-hashes (in the screenshot you can see two list-items f and g were instead being shown as a a md5-hash).

I got this bug in my README and reduced it to the bare essentials in a test .md file which shows this bug.

PlugIn version: 2013.03.13.07.11.59

I've tried to modified MarkdownPreview.py:

    # convert the markdown
    markdown_html = markdown.markdown(contents, extensions=['extra','toc'])

It's not working. I can't preview any file. How could I debug it? Thanks for this nice plugin anyway.

I installed this plugin by using Package Control's Add Repository functionality. The plugin gets installed in the sublimetext-markdown-preview folder. MarkdownPreview.py references the markdown.css file using a different path, Markdown Preview. This makes the command fail.

In MarkdownPreview.py I've replaced

styles = open(os.path.join(sublime.packages_path(), 'Markdown Preview', 'markdown.css'), 'r').read()

with

styles = open('markdown.css', 'r').read()

and it works. If the CSS is always going to be at the same place as MarkdownPreview.py, I don't think the whole path is necessary.

Are there any plans to support offline GitHub Markdown?

Default python-markdown2 parser doesn't play well with tables and Wiki format is horrible.

How can I use Pandoc or maybe there is something better than it?

I'm working on a tutorial for a third party, and wanted to be able to use markdown for the article, but also include things like javascript files for the actual demos. Looking at the code, it appears that only img files get their source attribute modified. Could support also be added for at least script tags?

1.   A list item.

    With multiple paragraphs.

2.  Another item in the list.

Should produce:

<ol>
<li><p>A list item.</p>
<p>With multiple paragraphs.</p></li>
<li><p>Another item in the list.</p></li>
</ol>

But instead produces:

<ol>
<li><p>A list item.</p></li>
<ol>
<p>With multiple paragraphs.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Another item in the list.</p></li>
</ol>

Based on the original syntax guide.

Consider this document:

Test Markdown Preview
=====================
[TOC]

Heading 1
---------

### Subheading 1.1
Text 1.1

### Subheading 1.2

Heading 2
---------

### Subheading 2.1

Heading 3
---------

### Subheading 3.1

Looks decent enough, no? A series of ---- is equivalent to ## when it comes to generating headings. For sub-headings there is no equivalent, so ### is needed. However, when Markdown Preview generates the TOC all the subheadings come after the headings, that is, not in the order they are defined. Here's a screenshot to demonstrate the problem:

If I generate html via the markdown tool that comes in Python, I don't see this problem.

Please remove systematic Github API call every time we save a Markdown file because API rate limit is only 60 by hour and IP.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for this plugin, it's great and very helpful but I am still getting UTF-8 issues for some reason. I am using version 2012.04.30.05.38.02 from the package installer. Which seems to match the latest github commit that says it fixes UTF-8.

Even an simple file with only the content Über doesn't work, it becomes Ãœber.

Sublimetext Beta, Build 2181. Mac OS 10.7.2

Hi,

Similar issues have been reported here and here. When I try to Markdown Preview: current file in browser it opens in the editor, in an HTML formatted file, instead of my default browser.

/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/Markdown Preview/package-metadata.json:
{"url": "https://github.com/revolunet/sublimetext-markdown-preview", "version": "2012.08.22.09.37.42", "description": "markdown preview plugin for sublime text 2"}

Sublime Text 2 Version 2.0.1, Build 2217

OS X Version 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

My default browser: Google Chrome 21.0.1180.82 (Stable)

It would be really neat if we could hook up the Markdown preview with LiveReload for ST2. I guess the key to this would be triggering a build on save and a consistent temp file. So you could preview the file, engage the LiveReload Chrome extension, then subsequent saves in ST would update the temp HTML file. LiveReload would detect the change and reload the page.

Edit: Alternatively you could pull live.js into the rendered html file and then subsequent saves would trigger a rebuild of the same file.

This combination would make ST2 a brilliant MD editor.

Google Chrome is my default browser, however preview does not recognize it correctly. See my earlier issue for this problem.

To work around it, I changed the settings to:

"browser": "google-chrome"

When I preview in browser it launches Chrome which shows the previes. But then Sublime hangs until I close Chrome.

The fix:

Change (around line 162)

result = os.system(cmd)

To:
result = os.system(cmd + " &")

I just hacked the change in, and it will probably fail on Darwin, etc without some kind of guard statement.

But that gets me past my problem.

First, thank you for a really cool package.

I tried to go to the CSS styling link in the README and it returned a 404 :(
The user seems to exist, but the project is gone.

broken: https://github.com/clownfart/Markdown-CSS

in line 9 of sample.md

this is *italic* and this is **bold** . another _italic_ and another __bold__

but the html is:

<p>this is <em>italic</em> and this is <strong>bold</strong> . another _italic_ and another __bold__</p>

My default browser is Google Chrome.

It's set in my preferred applications.

mimeopen x.html

opens files in Chrome.

Double clicking in the file browser opens in Chrome.

But preview in Browser launches Firefox.

I worked around the problem, by setting:

"browser": "google-chrome"

That launched Chrome but created another issue:

Sublime hung until the Chrome was closed.

I have submitted this as a separate issue, and I have a fix for it.

I'm using Windows XP SP2 and have Chrome as my default browser. Issuing the command always opens the preview in IE, even if IE is not currently running.

I've had a look in MarkdownPreview.py but there's no explicit mentioning of the browser used to preview the file.

Hi, when I'm trying to do this:

_This is [my_link](http://domain.com/some_path) I built it myself._

I don't get the whole link in italic, instead it stops right after it and I built it myself. is normal again.

When editing a big wiki document, it would be handy to scroll down browser page (jump) automatically to currently edited section.

For example, if I'm editing wiki document My doc.md at section "My Summary ", the preview would navigate browser to corresponding section anchor my-doc#my-summary.

I've tried to modified MarkdownPreview.py:

before

markdown_html = markdown.markdown(contents)

after

data = json.dumps({"text":contents, "mode":"gfm"})
url = "https://api.github.com/markdown"
value = urllib2.urlopen(url, data)
html = value.read()
markdown_html = markdown.markdown(html)

I can see html.
But I cannot use normal markdown preview in this case.

I think that I must support css too.

Do you have any plan to support github flavored markdown?

Hi,

as mentioned in the title, previewing Windows 1252 encoded files fails.
I'm using the default setup (internal parser).

The failure reason and how I solved it, is here:

Hi,

I found that syntax highlighter doesn't work when preview in browser, is there any way to fix it and include to the final HTML so we could have a very nice HTML with all resources embedded :-)

Thanks.

This might be a noob question...

The plugin was working for a while but now the command (markdown preview) is not pulling up in the Package Control Manager. Is there a way to fix this?

i'm on a readme.md file and when I press ctrl+shift+p markdown preview isn't on the list.

For the following codes:

*   list item 1

        % test.tex
        \documentclass{exam}
        \usepackage{xeCJK}
        \setCJKmainfont{WenQuanYi Zen Hei Sharp}

# Heading

*   list item 2

    paragraph in list item

Output:

The content under the heading are not rendered correctly with your extension, what's happend?

After removing the the line \setCJKmainfont{WenQuanYi Zen Hei Sharp}

*   list item 1

        % test.tex
        \documentclass{exam}
        \usepackage{xeCJK}

# Heading

*   list item 2

    paragraph in list item

Output:

It works again...

Weird : /

I want to start by saying that this plugin is a great addition.

I think better styling for code blocks would be better. Like an outline around the code and a slight background color change (something subtle like Github does. I couldn't tell my code blocks were targeted correctly until I looked at the html source.

I think some general wider page margins might be nice as well.

Thanks for the great plugin!

I tried to invoke the url https://github.com/clownfart/Markdown-CSS (on your readme) but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way for including an external stylesheet or even to embed some JavaScript?

My intention is to run prettify on the rendered output.

If I have this code in my Markdown file:

```js
var x = 1;
var y = x + " testing";
var z = new RegExp(".");
```

When previewing, I don't see any syntax highlighter coloring:

If I grab the .css file from one of my GitHub gists and add it into the generated HTML however, all the colors are rendered as I would expect:

Can the appropriate syntax highlighter CSS be added into the rendered HTML?

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to add a command that would save (or export, or build, whatever) the file into the folder of the source, using the name of the source, instead of saving in a temp file?

i.e.: When I'm done editing and previewing C:\index.md, have it save into C:\index.html, instead of C:/Users/bering/appdata/local/temp/76.html

Thanks!

I think it would be a good idea to include

body {outline: none;}

to the @media print section of the standard CSS file. This improves printing to paper as well as PDF. Currently, you will get about 10px of #FAFAFA at the top and also at the end of the text filling up the last page. Adding the line mentioned above fixed this for me and gave me a nice clean PDF.

On my system (OS.X 10.7.4, SublimeText2 2217), I have a problem. I can see the command execute from the ST2 terminal, but a dialog pops up:

cannot execute none Please check your Markdown Preview settings

The settings file, MarkdownPreview.sublime-settings, has the browser set to

"browser": "default"

I commented it out and tried replacing it with

"browser": "/Applications/Google Chrome.app"

But I got the same error. So I tried hacking to source file, MarkdownPreview.py. On line 107, I replaced

cmd = '"%s" %s' % (config_browser, tmp_fullpath)

with a hardcoded link to my Chrome application

cmd = '"/Applications/Google Chrome.app" %s' % (tmp_fullpath)

This resolved the problem. Now running the Markdown Preview: preview in browser command successfully executes and opens chrome with the converted and styled text. So I suspect there is a bug in how the MarkdownPreview plugin is reading it's config file (correct paths etc etc?).

Cheers
Mac

P.S. Here is some info on what version of the package I have, from Markdown Preview/package-metadata.jason:

{"url": "https://github.com/revolunet/sublimetext-markdown-preview", "version": "2012.09.06.19.15.57", "description": "markdown preview plugin for sublime text 2"}

The instructions mentions "once converted a first time, the output HTML will be updated on each file save". This doesn't work for me. I have to press Alt+M to convert, which also opens a new tab, and the tabs quickly add up.

description

when i used

ctrl + shift + p

example

markdown test

document with test ** information **

var x = 10;

shows

< p > #markdown test# < /p > // !!!!???
< p > document with test < strong > information < /strong > < /p >
< pre > < code > var x = 10; < /code > < /pre >

observations

windows 7, 64 bits and last version of sublime text 2, chrome browser

alternatives that dont works

• markdown test

• markdown test

Title
===

works, but

= Title  and == h2 title

don't seem to work. Any ideas?

I think that this plugin could behave as a build system, using cmd/ctrl + B to compile the markup and show it in a browser/pdf according to configuration automatically. Don't you?
