Markdown Support

[TaylanTatli]

Is it possible? I can use * to create bullet lists so maybe it can be possible for others. Actually all I want is using # for headers ``` for code blocks and for links.

Hi, currently (0.37.6) links are already supported when surrounded by double square brackets. I plan to add soon more support for markdown typing

[HaoZeke]

Any updates on this? (Sorry if it seems like an ETA)

Does 0.38.4 version support markdown now?

[giuspen]

Nope

First of all I want to appreciate for such great effort to make such great note taking application, I am using it almost everyday for all my technical and none-technical notes, It would be great if you can add makdown support, I just took a look on BoostNote and Typora, one of the cool features beside the Markdown support both added is supporting for some UML Diagram with markdown syntax by using third-party library, boostNote has interesting look and feel well as Syntax highlighter on the code block, it is very user friendly, I really wish we can have it in CherryTree.
Unfortunately I dont have much knowledge on Python; otherwise, I would try to help you on the development.
Again, Thanks for all of your effort.

It's awesome. I wish you could add markdown support.

While I'm enthusiastic about the idea, it seems to me markdown has the problem that to do this, Cherrytree will need to have two states: rendered and unrendered (eg, the text). How do we imagine this? A hotkey that flips from one to the other? (That would be slow for large notes.) Or a split window with rendered below and the editor with unrendered text, above?

It's possible I'm missing something. In which case, I'm sure someone will tell me.

@DiagonalArg That's correct, all of those need to be implemented, that's how all markdown editors I've ever used do it and that's what user expect. Text-Only-View, Preview-Only-View, Text-Preview-SplitView. And of course buttons & hotkeys to switch between.

any news on if this is in development? i would love markdown in cherrytree

#579 and #55 are much more appropriate features to have than this one.

[DiagonalArg]

@0xcrypto - Appropriate? Much more?

I don't think I agree with that.

On the other hand, I do agree that import/export are reasonable first steps.
