Week 3 Report

[personalizedrefriger]

Over the last week

• Syntax highlighting for TeX, code blocks (PR 6607)
• Fixed some instances of missing alt text
• Fixed selection not scrolling into view when toggling the keyboard on Android
• Additional work on the markdown toolbar.
  • Show search from the toolbar
    • Still needs improvement ­— the search dialog is CodeMirror's default and, thus, will probably not be localized (without additional work).
  • Button for showing/hiding the keyboard
    • (to address this comment)
  • Bug fixes

This week (Week 3)

• Write tests for the commands used by the markdown toolbar
  • This functionality runs in a WebView — can the code to be tested run without a DOM?
• Refactor command (bold, italicize, ...) code.
  • This code currently relies on an EditorView and can only be called from within initCodeMirror. To make it more easily testable, I'm moving it from CodeMirror.ts to a new file.
• Start work on an "insert drawing" dialog.

Still needs improvement ­— the search dialog is CodeMirror's default and, thus, will probably not be localized (without additional work).

Do you know if it is theme-able/customisable as well? I had a play with the build from your branch, it is nice but I can see it being a bit clunky for a mobile.

While it's somewhat stylable with CSS, CodeMirror makes it easy to replace the search dialog GUI.

As such, I was thinking of implementing a search dialog in React Native.
