Markdown viewer (not just another)

g0tsu · 2022-01-05 17:22:30

I've been working with markdown for many years, like anyone who share source code using a modern web platforms. It became some kind of standard for documentation writing, and cannot be ignored forever.
Those, who prefer minimalistic environments (for some reason), like me, have an extremely high standards, this is why I can't accept any of existing programs that built with, lets say "questionable technologies". By the way it must be lightweight, freaking fast, customizable and support vimkeys ^_^

It was a long time of waiting and doubts , and finally I've deicided to make it by myself. Please welcome litemdview.

Its git repository is located here:

https://notabug.org/g0tsu/litemdview

It has no package for archlinux yet, neither for any other linux distribution. It would be nice if someone helped me with it.

To be honest it is one of those programs that I REALLY USE everyday, heh, I love this program, and hope it could be helpful for you too, it's the reason why I share it with you.

Thanks.

Sorry, but this does not build for me. I get many errors like this

main.cpp:29:1: error: narrowing conversion of '226' from 'int' to 'char' [-Wnarrowing]

also from line 34 of main.cpp and with different numbers.

Interesting, didn't know -Wnarrowing comes by default. Lets try 0.0.25 with disabled "narrowing". Thank you for the report and for PKGBOULD. Can I suggest some small change ? May you add "strip src/litemdview" before installation please ?

Thanks.

You set -Wall, which enables everything it can, so you have to disable it with -Wno-narrowing again.
You could maybe use unsigned char, though and then cast to char if necessary.

May you add "strip src/litemdview" before installation please ?

makepkg does automatically strip everything unless that is disabled in its configuration.

You're totally right. So I did it in the 0.0.25.
Anyways -Wall is a bad idea for releases, will never use it by default, kinda emberrasing when someones gcc works better than mine

Thank you.

Hi. Great work g0tsu

Anyone knows how to use litemdview as previewer of markdown file in gnome File viewer (nautilus) (or wahtever desktop I guess)? Do I need to tweak sushi config ? or something else ?
