Ink player won’t show any content if there’s an out of content warning on first line
The source
=== intro
Hello! ```
Isn’t good ink, but at the moment it generates no player output at all, instead of the inky behaviour of output + warning. This might be significant for beginner users following early snippets from the documentation who might not know about -> DONE, and also might not feel confident exploring the “compiler” tab on Borogrove.
That's a tricky issue to solve as a special case because the editor doesn't really know when the story output is empty. Apart from parsing the compiler output and highlighting lines in the code like in Inky, I'm thinking maybe having the compiler warnings pop up in the main view? A mockup included here below. Just thinking out loud at this point.
I think having that for run time issues makes a lot of sense since arguably they are "part of the flow".
