KMarkdownWebView 0.5.0

frinring KDE, KDevelop

KMarkdownWebView 0.5.0 has been released.

Example: KMarkdownWebView KParts plugin used by Ark (using Oxygen theme for some retro look 🙂 )

The KMarkdownWebView software is for the rendered display of Markdown documents, using web technologies. It implements a C++/Qt-based wrapper around a local webpage with a JavaScript library (“marked”) which creates HTML from the plain text in Markdown format passed in.
The software contains

  • a KParts plugin for rendered display of Markdown files, which enables KParts-using applications (like the archiving tool Ark or the file manager Krusader) to show Markdown files in the target format.
  • a Markdown file KIO thumbnail generator plugin, which allows KIO-powered file managers & dialogs to show thumbnails and previews of files in Markdown format in the target format (currently only available when building against QtWebKit)

The KMarkdownWebView KParts plugin is also prepared for improved experience with the KTextEditor Document Preview plugin for KTextEditor-based applications like the editor Kate and IDE KDevelop.

KMarkdownWebView can be built with either QtWebEngine (preferred by the build system) or QtWebKit. Pass -DUSE_QTWEBKIT=TRUE to CMake to enforce the use of QtWebKit.

Changes since 0.4.0

  • Update of “marked” source copy to latest release v0.3.12
  • Translations updated for some languages (fi, fr, sl)
