Bug ID: 360603
Summary: Markdown (.md) support
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: New backend wishes
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: fisc...@unix-ag.uni-kl.de
>From Wikipedia: "Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text
formatting syntax designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other
formats using a tool by the same name. Markdown is often used to format readme
files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich
text using a plain text editor."
Relevance: Markdown is getting increasingly popular, especially in
Web-base/supported development such as done on Github.
Code: Numerous libraries to convert Markdown into other formats like HTML. As
an example how Markdown is rendered in a Qt application, please see CuteMarkEd
(https://github.com/cloose/CuteMarkEd).
Implementation: In KDE4 times, I would have suggested a KPart which makes use
of an existing third-party library for the Markdown-to-HTML process and then
rendering the result in a KHTML part (or just QTextDocument). However, as
Konqueror for KF5 doesn't seem to happen, Okular is the next best choice as a
viewer.
Reproducible: Always
