Plasma 6.2 is out โ Welcome to the "Let's get Creative๐๏ธ" edition!
Check out the inbuilt tablet configuration, improved HDR and color management, enhanced #accessibility, cool visual design upgrades, granular power controls, and much more.
I ended my last post by saying that the next version is coming soon, well here we are 3 months later (better late than never) and I am happy to announce that KleverNotes v1.1 is finally out.
The previous parser was a C++ reimplementation of marked.js that I made to easily integrate my plugins and extensions. While it was great for that aspect, I will be the first to admit that it was far from perfect and required a lot of maintenance.
For this reason, I decided to switch to a proper Markdown parser, in the form of md4qt:
md4qt is a header-only C++ library for Markdown parsing.
md4qt supports CommonMark 0.31.2 Spec and some GitHub extensions, such as tables, footnotes, to-do lists, strikethrough, LaTeX math injections, GitHub autolinks.
It's fast, reliable, customizable and easy to use. A perfect combination!
With this new parser, it is possible to know exactly where the Markdown tags are in the text. Thanks to this, and the new access to the underlying text document, the toolbar is more precise in removing specific tags but also in applying them. In addition, the toolbar now tells you which tags are already applied on the text under the cursor or the selected text.
The editor has also gained some small bonuses. Tabbing/untabbing blocks and auto-adding list items are now more reliable, but you now also have the ability to add an HTML line break (<br>) before a new line with Shift + Enter or a horizontal rule using Alt + Enter.
Ctrl+Z to go back to your previous state. ๐Now the big news, you read it correctly!
Again, thanks in large part to the new parser, the editor now has the ability to be "WYSIWYG", bold text will be bold, highlighted text will be highlighted, etc...
By default, Markdown tags will be 50% smaller than the rest of the text, this can of course be changed in the settings, a value of 1% makes them practically invisible. These tags will revert to their normal size depending on the position of the cursor/selected text, this way you can see which tag is responsible for a style.
Give credit where credit is due, this way of doing things was inspired by Marktext, it brings the best of both worlds.
However, this does not mean that the preview will be removed anytime soon, it is still in my opinion the best way to view Markdown, and if you don't like it, as you already know, you can disable it. ๐
I would like to thank Igor Mironchik, the creator of md4qt.
I contacted him to ask if he could help me integrate his parser into KleverNotes, and he not only helped me do it, but also listened to my requests throughout the process and added features to make my life easier.
Credit where credit is due, the main part of the syntax highlighter belongs to him as well, although he gave me full copyright on it, all I did was customize it to fit my vision, it would have been much harder for me without his help!
Finally, thanks to his years of experience, he taught me a lot about C++ and software development in general, and continues to do so today. I really grew up working with him and I can't thank him enough for that. I clearly made a good choice in asking him for this collaboration and I sincerely hope that it will continue. ๐
As I said:
md4qtis fast, reliable, customizable and easy to use.
And it is now part of the KDE Incubator program! So if anyone wants to try it or needs a good Markdown parser to work with Qt, feel free!
Igor also uses it for some pretty cool personal projects, check out Markdown-tools it's worth a try! ๐
I'm back at school and my schedule is busier than last year, this will obviously impact development. However, this doesn't mean I'm abandoning the project, things will just move a bit slower.
The next release should overhaul the way the sidebar works, and I'll start working on it soon. ๐
I'm currently publishing this version on flathub, you should (hopefully) be able to get it soon!
As always, feel free to tell me what you think of the app, I'm always happy to hear criticism, good or bad, as long as it's productive.
