Wiki made with Yad possible?

[dave]

I think I've read somewhere that you can use markdown with the Yad.

I was wondering if it's technically possible to get the Yad to render a word surrounded by double square brackets as a link which you could program to look for another text file by that name

Thanks

I'm trying to  make this myself, but I'm having a problem getting a file with pango markup to display

I'm converting [[links like this]] in a text file sent to this script to a pango format in another file like this:

FILE="$@"

f="$(basename -- $FILE)"

export KEY=$RANDOM

cat $FILE | sed 's/\[\[/<span foreground="blue" size="100">/g' | sed 's/\]\]/<\/span>/' > /tmp/newfile

yad --plug=$KEY --tabnum=1 --text-info --show-uri --back="#456787" --fore=white --always-print-result --center --wrap --name="NewNote" --window-icon="text-editor" --title="$f" --button="gtk-save:0" --button="gtk-open:2" --button="gtk-close:1" --editable --filename=$FILE > /tmp/testnotes.txt &> res1 &

yad --plug=$KEY --tabnum=2 --text-info --formatted --wrap --filename=/tmp/newfile &> res2 &

yad --paned --orient=hor --key=$KEY --tab="Tab 1" --tab="Tab 2" --width=1200 --height=500 --splitter=600 --center

The above displays the original file accurately, but nothing displays in the second pane.  If I delete the word "--formatted" in the second tab the filecontent displays as plain text without the formatting.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Figured it out - this worked:

FILE="$@"

[ -z "$FILE" ] && FILE="/home/david/SyncthingFolders/BibleWiki/data/PersonalStuff.txt"

f="$(basename -- $FILE)"

export KEY=$RANDOM

newfile=$(cat $FILE | sed 's/\[\[/<span foreground=\\\"blue\\\" size=\\\"large\\\">/g' | sed 's/\]\]/<\/span>/g')

echo "$newfile"

yad --plug=$KEY --tabnum=1 --text-info --show-uri --back="#456787" --fore=white --always-print-result --center --wrap --name="NewNote" --window-icon="text-editor" --title="$f" --button="gtk-save:0" --button="gtk-open:2" --button="gtk-close:1" --editable --filename=$FILE > /tmp/testnotes.txt &> res1 &

yad --plug=$KEY --tabnum=2 --text="$newfile" --formatted --back="#A9A9A9" --wrap &> res2 &

yad --paned --orient=hor --key=$KEY --tab="Tab 1" --tab="Tab 2" --width=1200 --height=500 --splitter=600 --center

there was a problem with my sed, and I guess you can't do pango in a text-info dialog

no, you are wrong. you can pango in text-info dialog with recent yad and --formatted option

What version is required?  I'm pretty sure this install is up to date as of the last 2 months (see screenshot)

the new Google Groups doesn't seem to have an ability to attach files :(

so this should work:

--formatted option was added in yad 1.0

Wow, I can't believe I have such a wide difference in versions.  I have version 6 on my home computer and .4 on my work computer - yikes!

Anyway, thanks for your patience. (yes, it works on my up-to-date computer)
