Use a different markdown renderer

Open nerd190 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Always loved this app! but only for quick notes, I have always needed a second app for markdown as this one doesnt render it as well as others. Example:

| example | example | ---|--- example | example

should render a table as it does in Github etc. code blocks also do not render, others can and also include syntax highlighting when started as so:

```bash

Please consider changing the mardown renderer to another. Opensource apps (found here on Github) that render markdown beautifully are:

  • turtl
  • markor
  • joplin
  • viper edit

I have tested EVERY open source markdown viewer/editor available since 2014, the four apps above are by far the best. I read about this is a "low" priority project compared to the rest of your apps (I totally get that, considering you make amazing apps like 'Taskbar' etc, that must take up a lot of time) I am not fluent in Java or Kotlin unfortunately, but more than capable of finding the libs these great markdown apps are using if that is help? or saves you some time? I just think if this app includes markdown, it should do it well, if not it should be removed and be just a text editor (no markdown)

If you can post the libraries used here I will make sure to look into it 😄 @5c0tt-b0t

I'm particularly annoyed with the choice of going with OG Markdown, which requires 2 spaces at the end of the line before making a newline (I HATE THAT!), instead of something like GitHub-flavored Markdown (or just enabling the relevant option) to allow newlines on newlines, like when commenting here on GitHub.

I mean, it's not like we're on a terminal with 80 chars-per-line limit or anything - text will word-wrap - so this multi-line collapsing into single-line behavior is so counter-productive and error-prone.

Please enable this, or an option for this.
