Markup view mode

[danielalmeidagoncalves]

The application is a joy to use :) but what about the possibility of having a way to alternate from UI view mode to Markup view mode?

@danielalmeidagoncalves & @codesharkasm : What do you want concerning a "Markdown mode" ? Just a preview of the output code ? If it's the case, I could implement that. A complete Markdown edit mode view ? I will not do that.

(Un)colored is a WYSIWYG editor that export into HTML or Markdown, it's not a Markdown editor :)

@n457 I see what you mean and yes I completly understand the purpose of the project, so for me still would be very nice to have that kind of preview mode, as there are Markdown editors that allow the other way around, namely giving us a preview mode of the markup code :)

Alright, I wait for @codesharkasm proposals before deciding on this feature

Typora has a "Source Code Mode". It looks like a regular IDE.

Does this help?

[danielalmeidagoncalves]

@codesharkasm Yep that could be a nice approach :)

@danielalmeidagoncalves @n457 Sometimes it's nicer & faster to write in markdown. But whatever you want... It doesn't require any UI changes... so only power users would use it. But I definitely would like to see this functionality in UC.

One way to support Mardown would be to allow to type markdown into the normal editor. So if I want a new title I type # my title, and when the new line is added Uncolored automatically turns that in a title visually. That could be a nice hybrid approach to avoid the clumsy double screen.

Some editor having similar hybrid approach: Abricotine (less WYSIWYG), HyperMD (the demo website seems half broken, but you still get the idea), Emacs with LaTeX or OrgMode configured well.

@Mayeu That's a good idea!

Hi @danielalmeidagoncalves @codesharkasm @Mayeu :)

@codesharkasm @Mayeu : so hmm see the comment https://github.com/n457/Uncolored/issues/24#issuecomment-262007576 of this topic :

A complete Markdown edit mode view ? I will not do that.

(Un)colored is a WYSIWYG editor that export into HTML or Markdown, it's not a Markdown editor :)

➔ (Un)colored is not a code editor. You already have full dedicated Markdown editor (like Typora). Sorry guys I can't accept your request this time :/

@danielalmeidagoncalves : I will implement a Markdown preview mode 👍

Thank you all for contributing, it's always a pleasure !
