Markdown serializing bug due to url key

[vnugent]

Description

For serializing (slate to markdown) remark-slate looks for the URL in link property (view code), but Plate is storing it in url.

This is the opposite of https://github.com/udecode/plate/issues/350

How can we override url with link?

I ended up switching to https://github.com/inokawa/remark-slate-transformer instead. However, thinking about it, I've replaced most of the Plate plugins with my own stuff, so I'm not sure how well it'd work out of the box.

@siliconeidolon I've tried both and in general I prefer the approach in remark-slate-transformer. We use a custom ast in our app, so https://github.com/inokawa/remark-slate-transformer/issues/31 was an obstacle for us.

Regarding plate, I tend to contribute smaller more general purpose changes back to plate and larger or different decisions I extend plate. I try to get as much improvement back into plate as possible to help others wherever it makes sense.

I'm also facing problems to reliably convert plate => markdown. I ended up working on my own convertor - https://github.com/palerdot/slate-mark

It is a work in progress. And link, handling is not yet done. But, expect it to be a reliable plate -> markdown convertor in the near future.

Not that you have to, but it might be nice to include this in plate... more eyes lead to more community fixes, etc.

I don't mind actually, and might be a good idea if things work out fine. Right now, I'm pushing patch versions (0.0.x) where things are not stable, and not fit for public consumption. I expect it to be in decent shape when I release the first minor version (0.1.0). I think that would be a good time to take stock of whether this is good enough to be included in plate.

OP here. I was hoping Plate would just work with markdown out-of-the-box. Though I think one other way to address this issue is making url key customizable in remark-slate. See https://github.com/hanford/remark-slate/issues/38

In case anyone is interested, this is my slate-to-markdown and markdown-to-slate helpers:

Hi! I have the exact same issue.

I see that it's mark as completed but I could not find a clear solution. What should I do?

@baptisteArno It would be simpler and safer to adjust this in remark-slate than in Plate. Perhaps you could make a PR on remark-slate to make this configurable, or patch your copy of remark-slate if the PR isn't accepted?
