Plugin: Rich Markdown

nonobio · 2024-04-14T06:07:23.428Z

Thanks a lot for this great plugin

About checkboxes:

Would it be possible to check the boxes of all selected text? (when I select several line and use the Toggle checkbox action from contextual menu, only the first line is toggled)

Check boxes on titles are not taken into account, would this be possible? In fact they are not seen as check boxes by the Joplin Markdown viewer either, but I put x myself manually to simulate a check mark:

Thanks

That's a good point, it would make sense to apply to all of them. What do you think the behavior should be if a user selects multiple lines that have both checked and unchecked boxes?

Toggle all individually
Uncheck all
Check all

I hesitate to add features that don't exist in the markdown viewer, i think it adds confusion for most users. I would consider adding support for that header checkbox syntax (I saw it in a thread from a few days ago), if/when it's supported in the main app.

Thank you very much for your response

CalebJohn:

Toggle all individually

Uncheck all

Check all

The ideal would be to have the 3 options . The ones that would be most useful to me would be 2 and 3 (Uncheck all and Check all)

If this is not possible, and if the function is still called Toggle checkbox, the most logical one would be Toggle all individually.

I also use the plugin Reset Checkboxes which allows me to Uncheck all checkboxes, and following my request to the developer @kamer, he added the possibility of uncheck checkboxes only on the selected text, thanks to him

With your 2 plugins, the checkboxes will be under control

I understand
In this regard, although checking and unchecking these boxes on the title does not work, when you press CTRL the little hand is displayed, we might believe that it could work, but no

Fair point! I'll look into making it work (or fixing the hand, we'll see)
edit: It was fairly easy to add the requested feature. It will be available in the next release.

CalebJohn · 2024-04-17T21:08:10.262Z

Version 0.15.0 was just released. It supports checking selections.

The ctrl+click (and ctrl+enter) behaviour remains the same (toggle checkboxes). But this adds 2 new right-click menu entries, one for check all, and one for uncheck all.

I also went ahead and added support for toggling titles that are formatted like checkboxes.

nonobio · 2024-04-18T13:17:56.695Z

Wow, amazing, thank you very much, it is perfect

In the Markdown viewer, title checkboxes cannot be checked or unchecked with a click, but I don't think the plugin can do anything about it...

nonobio · 2024-05-16T08:23:41.472Z

Hi,

I noticed two little issues:

1- Checkboxes actions of the context menu are not displayed if the last line of the selection does not contain a checkbox:

Joplin_2024-05-16_10-16-16

I've gotten into the habit of paying attention to the end of my selection and so I can live with this behavior, but I wanted to point this out to you in case there is an easy way to correct this

2- Internal links to anchors of other notes do not work from the editor (CTRL) if the titles contain checkboxes. If I remove the checkbox from the link, it works whether the box is checked or not:

Joplin Rich Markdown_Anchor links with checkboxes issue_2024-05-16_16-42-56

As for the first problem, I can live with it, I wonder if it is not better to remove the check box from the link, which means that it will work, whether the box is checked or not

Thanks

The fact that I don't necessarily arrive at the right section in the note linked is, I think, another problem.

CalebJohn · 2024-05-17T18:29:18.576Z

Thank you for the reports @nonobio, I don't have time to fix them right away but I've tracked them on github so they don't get lost.

This is because the current code uses the location of the cursor to determine th…e items to add to the context menu. This needs to be fixed for multiline selections, so that the correct prompt is present. ![image](https://github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-rich-markdown/assets/2179547/bc1fa6d5-4055-45d8-a92c-7a6e6361df15) [source: nonobio on discourse](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/plugin-rich-markdown/15053/369?u=calebjohn)

This is likely caused by an overly greedy checkbox regex which is hijacking the …section. ![image](https://github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-rich-markdown/assets/2179547/85e95002-2f2c-466f-b2c9-77638bfea919) [source: nonobio on discourse](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/plugin-rich-markdown/15053/369?u=calebjohn)

And as for anchor links not scrolling to the right place, that is indeed a limitation of the current version, it is high priority for me to fix.

Are you talking about the current version of Rich Markdown or Joplin?
Because for me the problem is present even without any plugin installed (without Rich Markdown).

There are two things I notice:

Sometimes the note is not positioned at all in the right place, whether in the editor or the renderer.
Sometimes it is positioned well in the renderer but not in the editor (this is where I have to move the text up or down on the renderer side so that the editor aligns it).

CalebJohn · 2024-05-19T18:30:53.274Z

I was talking about rich markdown, but I see now that you're talking about a different issue. You should report it on the Joplin issue tracker.

Hey @CalebJohn ... sorry for being cheeky, but thought I would try my luck again...

Do you think any chance of implementing PDF preview being displayed inline in the markdown editor, especially since v3 has now added support for loading PDFs with imaging API.

I am fine for you to give the same answer as last time, but thought I would forward this new info

# Summary Resolves #9794. Adds a plugin API to convert PDFs to images. …Specifically, it adds the following: - `joplin.imaging.createFromPdfResource` - `joplin.imaging.createFromPdfPath`: Creates images from a PDF file (one per page). Returns a handle to each page. It also makes the following changes to existing methods: - `joplin.imaging.createFromResource` and `joplin.imaging.createFromPath`: If given a path to a pdf resource or file (based on the file extension), return an image of its first page. - `joplin.imaging.free`: Support freeing an array of image handles. # Testing This pull request updates the `imaging` example plugin to use the new APIs. To manually test this pull request using that plugin, 1. Open a note that contains a PDF link in the markdown editor. 2. Select the PDF link. 3. Click on the second gear icon in the toolbar. 4. Verify that images for the first 10 pages are inserted into the note.

Wanted to share some RM CSS tricks. Each one is made up of two parts:

JSON to be pasted into the settings at Rich Markdown --> Advanced Settings --> Custom classes JSON. This creates new CSS classes out of text patterns.
CSS to be pasted into Joplin's userchrome.css (AKA Appearance --> Custom stylesheet for Joplin-wide app styles).

Highlight tags in the editor

Preview:

JSON:

[{ "name": "rm-tag", "regex": "(?<=^|\\s)([#@+]|\\/\\/)([^\\s#@+]*\\w)" }]

CSS:

div.CodeMirror span.cm-rm-tag {
    background-color: #7698b3;
    color: white !important;
    padding: 0em 2px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    display: inline;
}

Colour-coded checkboxes in the editor

Preview:

These [x]it!-inspired checkbox styles represent various possible states of tasks. (See also this plugin, which renders these checkboxes in a panel.)

JSON:

[{
	"name": "rm-xitOpen",
	"regex": "(?<=^\\s*)[-+*] \\[ \\](?=\\s.*)"
},
{
	"name": "rm-xitDone",

},
{
	"name": "rm-xitBlocked",
	"regex": "(?<=^\\s*)[-+*] \\[!\\](?=\\s.*)"
}]

CSS:

I included an extra commented line in each class for optionally highlighting the checkbox.

Does anybody know if this plugin is known to be safe privacy-wise? Their latest version 15.0.0 doesn't seem to be on Github...

CalebJohn · 2024-06-08T00:06:33.950Z

v0.15.0 is on github, I just didn't bother manually creating a github "release" for it. I just pressed the release button so it should be safe now

Lombra · 2024-07-09T18:21:39.540Z

Hi,

Is this plugin supported in version 3.x? I just updated Joplin to 3.0.13 and installed this plugin (0.15.0), but I have a few of issues and/or don't understand how it works.

Are "plain text" links supposed to get styled automatically? I can Ctrl-click to follow them, but they are not colored or anything.

Using Stylish, horizontal rules that have spaces in between the characters (eg * * *) are rendered strangely. Even with spaces it looks a little strange, with the markdown barely visible and a tiny cursor. I also don't get any side margin like in the screenshot, which causes the header markdown to disappear.

I have enabled the "add extra CSS classes" option.

Before I create the issue, I'd like to ask if this feature is interesting enough to be in scope for this plugin

Clickable URL on image

![ [image label to display](URL) ](/:resourceid)

Example: label underneath the image is supposed to be clickable - opens Youtube page

Use cases

app launcher dashboard grid
attachments preview
? potential note preview
webarchive: potential to easily recreate static HTTP elements in note's body

Notes

CM6 renderer supports this feature out of the box but it doesn't work in TinyMC
This feature is more like a markdown hack but surprisingly supported widely enough, although underutilized for some reason

artis · 2024-08-01T06:48:54.980Z

Thank you for your custom checklist setup.
Is there a way to define how it!-inspired checkbox styles are displayed in the viewer or when exported to PDF?
For example, to make that [?], [@], [!] & [~] are also displayed as bullet points or bullet points with specific formatting.

Additionally, is it possible to do the same thing for tags - to have the same highlighting in rendered markdown output?

shikuz · 2024-08-01T09:02:07.311Z

This requires a different kind of plugin (that focuses on the renderer), such as this one (an example for highlighting some tags specifically next to checkboxes). I'm not familiar with a generic renderer customisation plugin for Joplin (where a user might define [x]!it checkboxes in its settings), or one that is dedicated specifically to styling checkboxes.

whitewall · 2024-10-30T18:52:41.192Z

I just upgraded to Joplin 3.1.20 and none of the styling I had for Rich Markdown works. My css file is still there.

Am I the first person to experience this?
