mark-my-words some.md opens a blank file instead of some.md

Just opening an issue about this feature. Do you know how to convert a WebkitView to PDF? I wasn't able to find how to achieve that.

Seems that we could use get_snapshot() (http://www.valadoc.org/#!api=webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKit.WebView.get_snapshot), but the pdf would be an image, not text.

Another approach would be to use the print function in WebkitView and automatically select the right printer (Print to file).

Any other ideas?

Hello, when I try to compile your awesome piece of art in Fedora 21, I get the following Error:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../MarkMyWords/
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.9.2
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc

-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (project):
  No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found.

  Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
  variable "CXX" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the full path
  to the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH.

Thank you very much!

Hey, at the moment the icons in the headerbar under Fedora 21 with Gnome-Shell look kind of odd.

Now I don't know if this is intended behaviour, but to me I would change the Icons to fit the Gnome-Shell.
Here is an example of gedit in Gnome:

Some people proposed a distraction-free mode

Add a Are you sure you want to quit? dialog if file is not saved.

this is my shell show

Selecting Default stylesheet in settings doesn't work: there is no stylesheet applied. Maybe a wrong stylesheet path. Only occurs with system-wide installations with ppa.

Same as title. The file I'm writing is becoming quite long, and somethimes I can't remember where I said something
edit: I'm pressing CTRL-F in vain XD

First of all, awesome app! :) But you should really avoid using the default Scratch icon on your app. By just looking at the icons, it can be confusing to distinguish you app from the default text editor in elementary.

Would be handy to be able to have multiple Markdown files open in one window.

If an external stylesheet is provided, Mark my words won't apply it, unless you open "preferences" again

Please add this in the future, I use this to manage notes for myself and projects on the fly. Hate having to have multiple windows open for different files.

Basically the same as any web browser or the Scratch editor included with Elementary OS.

Thanks in advance.

I've added the PPA ppa:voldyman/markmywords with the command apt-add-repository ppa:voldyman/markmywords. An apt update show this error message:

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/voldyman/markmywords/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Installation of the package mark-my-words is not possible without further tweaking.

When I edit the text, i find the preview automatically going up to the start of the document, so that I cannot see the preview of what I am writing.

• Steps to Reproduce
  • Open up a fair sized markdown file.
  • Go to the end of the file.
  • Select and delete a number of line from the end of the file.
  • Hit ctrl-S to save
• Expected behavior
  • File saves and appearance in the program remains the same.
• Observed behavior
  • The deleted lines reappear.

Looks like when an icon is not available (not sure why it wouldn't be on my system?) it's attempts to use it anyways? I see a missing image icon where the prefs button should be and this is printed to the shell:

(mark-my-words:23747): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_image_set_from_icon_name: assertion 'GTK_IS_IMAGE (image)' failed

(mark-my-words:23747): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tool_button_set_icon_name: assertion 'GTK_IS_TOOL_BUTTON (button)' failed

** (mark-my-words:23747): WARNING **: FileHandler.vala:26: Cannot read "": Operation not supported

RIght now the default theme is null. solarized-light were recently added to gtksourceview (>= 3.14 IIRC).

If MarkMyWords could have a filesystem tree browser it would be super awesome! A use case would be maintain own knowledge base (note-taking software, docs, static site source editing and etc...).

The default stylesheet has no type for quotes:

> Alea jacta est.

Words with underline in the middle of them (e.g. filenames) are being half bold-ed. But only in the editor window, not in the preview window. I believe the preview window is correct, and you should only be making words bold if there is whitespace before the "_". (pandoc and the "Remarkable" editor behave the same way as your preview window, however RStudio behaves the same way as your editor window.)

BTW, I think a way to switch off syntax highlighting in the editor window might be useful: I don't mind it (when its correct!), but if I'm using a two-pane editor with live preview, it is not essential.

This coupled with #75 would be all I ever need :).

Closing it then reopening back to the same doc I left would be ideal.

Add a LICENSE file

See https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/

• Multiple underscores in words?
• URL autolinking
• Strikethrough
• Fenced code blocks (see #25)
• Syntax highlighting (see #25, #27)
• Tables
• HTML

I'm sorry that I countinously post bug report.. but this is quite unpleasant.
When I'm writing, sometime my cursor move from the current position to the ent of the document.
Edit: both with auto save enabled and not.

Hi,

When you are writing nested lists like this :

* thing
    * thingy thing
    * other thing

It would be handy to automatically keep the correct number of tabs, imagine you have a long nested list and you have to rewrite 3 tabs every line.

My 2 cents, great tool otherwise.

While a new file can be saved correctly, it seems impossible to "save as" a document which already has a file name, clicking the save button seems to do nothing (except saving under the same file name, of course).

Hi, I'm unable to link to a local image (both with absolute or relative path).
Is this possible?/Will it be?
(I'm work-arounding this using lighttpd and pointing to localhost, but it was simplier to just link to file:// or just ./)
Thanks, Nicolò

As I'm new user of Apricity (based on Arch - I was using Elementary until now), I realized that preferences icon is not showing well.

The above mentioned toolbar buttons are greyed out / faded even when they are perfectly usable.

For Open File this seems to happen after clicking and opening a file; I can't reproduce this reliably for Save.

Hi @voldyman and others,

What a great and simple Markdown editor you created!

I just noticed a small bug:

The solarized themes should not appear twice, should net?

Thankfully,

Robert

When I open a saved file, and then press immediately "close", it asks me for saving changes. It happens somethime even right after the save button pressed, so, I always fear the changes had not been saved.

A disabled scrollbar for code when syntax highlighting is disabled.

Would love support for encryption. Once encrypted, we can always back it up on Dropbox/Drive/OneDrive.

Add a CSS stylesheet when rendering

Hi, I am not able to export my text to pdf (a 0 byte file get created), nor to print it.
Another thing that happen, is the wrong html encoding (apostophed letters like òàèù are shown like: è)
Thanks, Nicolò
Edit: I'm on elementary OS

Add translations.

I can translate to French.

The file deps/discount/mktags is a x86_64 executable. Attempts to build the package on other architectures therefore fail.

The source file mktags.c is there so why include an executable. Why not just build it along with everything else ?

(cd deps/discount; gcc -o mktags mktags.c)

When trying a pdf export I get a pdf file with a size of 0 bytes.
Having the program run from terminal doesn't give any suggestion of the reason of the failure.

It's convenient especially when you deal with markdown files that have a lot of code blocks

On Ubuntu 14.04 :

(mark-my-words:19654): Gtk-ERROR **: failed to add UI: <resource>/com/voldyman/markmywords/ui/headerbar.ui: required gtk+ version 3.12, current version is 3.10

The user should be able to start typing as soon as the application opens.

Add markdown syntax highlighting

Add syntax highlighting to output.

When clicking on About, I get this in the terminal:

Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Not very important, but it would be better to fix it!

Can you add yaml support for Jekyll blog users. So we can write our blog posts with this app. Thanks. :)
