embedding .md (markdown) files?

[Shay Shaked]

I asked something similar before, about writing md directly into TW -- but this is not really useful, considering how much more complete (imo) TW text is. 

OK, now question becomes this: I like embedding certain files inside my journal tiddlers for the week, which include a project list, etc. I still write many texts on my phone using markdown. Is there a way to embed them directly into a tiddler? For now, I print as PDF and embed this -- not too bad, but this means I can't make changes. I have to go back to the original file and print again. 

Suggestions? Thanks!

There are plugins, to use markdown within TW.

tiddlywiki/markdown  ... uses markdown-js library and can be installed with the built in plugin-library mechanism.

wikilabs/markdown-it ... uses the markdown-it library and can be installed using the link.

...but this is not really useful,

You'll need to be a little bit more specific about, what you try to achieve with MD, that can't be done with the existing possibilities.

If you don't let us know, how should we be able to fix it ;)

have fun!

pmariojo,

I'm aware of the plug-in, but I don't want to use MD to write tiddlers; I want to have MD files embedded in another tiddler, as you could do with PDFs or CSV files. 

This I do by creating a tiddler that contains the PDF, embedded, and then have this tiddler inside my general journal tiddler, if this makes sense.

MD source is plain text. If you embed that its the raw plain text you'd see. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

That's an interesting point. When you use MD, the output us formatted - however, this formatted form is usually a "a preview" of the software you use (in my case, Typora) or . HTML 

MD in itself has no real "look" for a better term. 

I guess then, the question becomes, can I have TW "understand" MD and display it in respect to markdown rules? Just as it would display HTML embedding? 

Why not just submit HTML then, you may ask? Because I use MD in tempora, and "printing" to HTML is making it a final product, meaning, I can't go into the HTML and edit it again in MD; now it's HTML. 

Hmm. So this is an interesting turn. Need to think in different terms.

Right. As far as I understand it you need ...

1 - Embed the rendered HTML

or ...

2 - Put the raw plain text MD into a tiddler with a Content Type that can render it correctly.

This seems to work:

<$wikify type="text/x-markdown" name="md" output="html" text={{MarkdownExample}}>
<<md>>
</$wikify>

Where text is replaced with your markdown tiddler you want embedded. This will render the markdown even if the original text wasn't identified as markdown. Of course you have to have md plugin installed.

Thanks Mark. I think I know which plugin, but would you be kind enough to point me to it again so there are no mistakes? 

Thank you.

Well, the one I used was here: https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/markdown/

Thanks!

So, install the plugin, and then the embedding should work. I will try it out.

Doesn't work for me. I put it as indicated in the tiddler body and I can't see my file. I tried to embedding, same way I'd do with PDF, same result. Path should be correct. What am I missing?

[BJ]

browsers do not understand markdown, eg for chrome you must install a browser extension eg Markdown Preview Plus then you can embedd using an iframe EG

<iframe src="file:///yourdirpath/README.md"/>

all the best

Hi Shay,

Not sure, I have fully understood your use case but there is the following option.

You can install the Marked plugin.
(bjtools.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Fbj%2Fplugins%2Fmarked)

Then:
1. Import your .md file in your tiddlywiki (by simply dropping it)
2. Set it's "type" field to "text/x-marked"

Best regards

Eskha
