Fellow TextMates
Thanks to Brad for the MMD bundle. I noticed some problems while using it:
- I have problems using german umlauts like ä, ö, ü, etc. when
converting a Markdown document to PDF or HTML. All I get is some strange character sequences where the umlauts should be. And yes, I use UTF8 for my documents.
Are you talking about the HTML source or what appears in the browser or preview window?? I can see that htmldoc gets confused and generates some weird pdf but html seems fine in the tests I've tried.
- If I use the shortcut for "Preview in Browser" ctrl-shift-M
while using Multimarkdown as the document language, I get the following error:
warning: failed to load external entity "/Library/Application% 20Support/TextMate/Bundles/Markdown.tmbundle/Support/markdown.xsl" cannot parse /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ Markdown.tmbundle/Support/markdown.xsl
When the document is in MultiMarkdown mode ctrl-shift-m tries to run the command 'convert to markdown.' Not preview in browser. Now that I look at it carefully I'm not sure who wrote that command or what it is supposed to do. MultiMarkdown does not include a file called markdown.xsl as far as I can tell.
??Anyone??
That aside we should probably have a consistent shortcut for preview that works for Markdown and MultiMarkdown
Funny thing is: It works if I select "Preview in Browser" from the menu in the status bar. The shortcut works while using Markdown as the document language though. Why are there two different languages anyway? Is there a difference between the syntax of Markdown and Multimarkdown?
MultiMarkdown includes syntax for creating tables, and the creation of full documents. Markdown alone is designed to generate shorter snippets of html that are included as part of a page created by a blogging system or wiki and therefore does not create a full html page. Using the directive Format: complete at the top of a multimarkdown document causes multimarkdown to generate a complete xhtml document. Staring with this complete xhtml document multimarkdown can then produce other complete documents, like LaTeX articles, or rtf documents.
- If I use ctrl-shift-L, a html link get's inserted instead of
converting it to Latex while using Markdown as language. It works while using MMDown as the language. (So this might be a problem of the Markdown bundle. Or is this expected behaviour?)
You can't convert markdown to Latex for the reasons I mentioned above. So it is the expected behavior although once again we have shortcuts doing very different things with only subtle differences in the scope of the document.
Hope that helps clear up a few questions....
Brad
Anybody else noticing this?
Cheers. Oliver
