Markdown support in Notepad widget
Thanks again for this awesome project.
It would be awesome to have a tiny live markdown rendering while editing text in the notepad widget. Like, rendering titles and links.. this kind of stuff.
No need for Obsidian/Logseq or any other application! Just use direct text editing and save to plain text files!
Wdyt?
Cheers
Although I love the idea, I do not think markdown rendering is the right place given that the notepad widget is more like the windows or mac notepads equivalent. I still think it might be a great plugin.
What I would love and I'd be open to implement (if the maintainers agree) is a markdown syntax highlighting to the notepad widget, similar to text editors.

We could use chroma library as backend for rendering colors : https://swapoff.org/chroma/playground/

I would love that, personally
Sure, I was thinking:
- Add new toggle config to the text editor "notepadEnableMarkdownSyntax":false (default).
- Swap the PlainTextEditor Widget with a RichTextEditor Widget.
- Call syntax highlighting function on keydown Event and repaint.
About the dependency... chroma where would you add this highlighting function? In the dank linux repo via ipc ?

Yea that would work the best (avoids extra dependencies) - it might not even need IPC, like over the socket - could just be a CLI dms chroma <some escaped input> . That would be the easiest way.
