Week 1: Status update

[personalizedrefriger]

Although this is not officially week 1, I have just finished Spring quarter. As such, I am just now starting work.

What's been done

• Update CodeMirror to the latest stable version (PR 6577)
  • This fixes checklist continuation
  • Ctrl+F search support has also been added (user must have a keyboard to activate).
• Prototyped adding HTML checkboxes to markdown checklists (CodeMirror 6 editor) (see this discussion post).

What I plan to do

• Add a markdown toolbar to the mobile editor
  • bold
  • italicize
  • Increase list level
  • Decrease list level
• Syntax highlighting for TeX in the beta editor
  • Will require extending the existing markdown parser used by CodeMirror (see this post on the CodeMirror forum)
  • Perhaps the lezer-tex package can then be used to do TeX syntax highlighting.
    • TeX doesn't seem to have a lezer parser in the lezer GitHub organization (lezer-tex is 3rd-party).
• Indent when tab is pressed.

The markdown toolbar has been implemented (with slightly different functionality):

See the relevant PR.

Perhaps due to a race condition (state change causes a re-create of the buttons in the toolbar), the buttons must sometimes be pressed multiple times.
