MultiMarkdown in Editorial
-
last edited by KHHKChI found out that some features of MultiMarkdown are not supported in Editorial, as well as a bug:
Bug:
- Within Code delimiter (```),
<>are not escaped. i.e. HTML codes within code block will still be HTML codes, not plain text.
Does not support:
- MMD metadata block (e.g. title is ignored)
- superscript & subscript (e.g. if MultiMarkdown is not selected, there's an option to select superscript. But once MMD is enabled, MMD styled superscript and subscript is not supported)
- Abbreviations
- Inline footnote
- ``this kind of smart quote'' will not resulted in “this”
- Code class (e.g. "```tex" should becomes
<code class="tex">...) - Math class (it doesn't have
<span class="math">...enclosing the math)
- Within Code delimiter (```),

last edited byI'm a fresh user of Editorial and I bought the app because I've read it supports Multimarkdown. Imagine my disappointment when I open a file with lots of footnotes (written on my MacBook with Multimarkdown Composer Pro) and in Preview just see the source code for the footnotes … Could have stayed with Notebooks 8 just as well. :-(

last edited by@jotteerr Have you enabled Multimarkdown in the settings? What does your footnote syntax look like?
-
last edited by@omz Yes, MultiMarkdown is enabled. Example for the syntax:
[^This is a footnote.]As far as I know, this is part of the MMD syntax since v. 4.
It would be great if you could find a way to handle this with Editorial.

last edited byThe way footnotes work in Editorial at the moment is with labels like
[^fn1]and definitions of the footnote somewhere else (e.g. at the bottom of the section/document), like[^fn1]: This is the footnote text(The labels don't have to be numbers.)

last edited by@omz I've understood that. But I don't think it's worth editing more than 50 footnotes to a rather cumbersome format, I have to look at other editors instead. It's a pity because Editorial looks promising otherwise and because I already paid for it, but for me footnotes are a killer feature.

According to the MMD syntax guide, that's the official format. An identifier goes inline in your text and the actual text of the note goes at the end.

last edited byAh, I do see here than "inline" footnotes are also allowed by MultiMarkdown. Mea culpa.

last edited by tweedy@omz I'd just like to add a voice for inline footnotes support. They're really essential for trying to write scholarly work in markdown.

last edited byI also wanted to note that inline footnotes would be a fantastic help for me!

last edited bySupport for inline footnotes is the only thing holding me back from purchasing the app at this time.
