Tiddlywiki5: markdown plugin does not work with links with '

[somenxavier]

Something like [foo](It's about me) does not work. And this [foo](It about me) does

[pmario]

Have a closer look at: https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/markdown/#HelloThere

[sukima]

The problem is that [foo](It's about me) is not valid markdown. In fact neither is [foo](It about me) which seem just coincidence that it works because I would not expect it to.

The part inside the parentheses needs to be a URL and URLs do not have spaces. Perhaps something like this: [foo](#It's%20about%20me) would work?

[somenxavier]

Let's be clear:

• Create a tiddler called It's time which has a permalink https://tiddlywiki.com/#It's%20time
• How to link to it from markdown tiddlers? With [foo](#It's%20time)
• It does not work because the link has '

@somenxavier Thank you for the clarification. This is indeed a bug:

I can also confirm this is not a bug with TiddlyWiki but a bug with the markdown parser we use as evident by this JSBin.

Oh and @somenxavier you have already submitted a bug report.

[somenxavier]

@sukima thanks for confirming the bug. We are dependent of that bug report of markdown parser so. I did not remember that. I hope this will get solved fast

[somenxavier]

Perhaps we could move to https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it

You can try markdown-it with TW at: https://wikilabs.github.io/editions/markdown-it/#HelloThere

@pmario : Can I install it and remove the markdown official plugin? After drag and drop I cannot use it. It does not appear in plugins list.

[pmario]

Can I install it and remove the markdown official plugin?

Yea first remove the other plugin.
Download an empty.html and try again

[somenxavier]

@pmario How can I do this exactly: remove old plugin and install new plugin?

[somenxavier]

@pmario Perhaps tiddlywiki could remove markdown-official-plugin and put it markdown-it as official, couldn't?

[somenxavier]

It doesn't work: no +Markdown button, and no "Markdown" in type after applying to empty.html. Please try it:

1. Download empty.html
2. Install your plugin
3. You cannot add a markdown page

I did just test it. It seems to work for me. ... Did you save and reload the TW, after importing the plugin.

• I did open the ControlPanel: Plugins tab
• Opened a second window with empty.html
• dragged the md plugin onto empty.
• import
• save
• reload

Do you do that in tiddlydesktop? In firefox it does not run because Apocalypse

I use FireFox 99% of the time. V58.0.2 atm

[somenxavier]

In firefox I can't get that it saves me tiddlywiki empty changes: v 58.0.2 also: change title in GettingStarted -> save button -> dialog of "save as" -> cancel -> reload -> the same title again

hmmm, If you "cancel" the save request, why should it save something?

It needs to be: save button -> dialog "save as" -> overwrite existing empty.html -> reload (optional)

If you want to skip the "save as" dialog, you could use my FF browser plugin file-backups, which will overwrite existing files .... BUT be aware modern browsers only let us save to the browser Downloads directory and subdirectories. ....

[somenxavier]

Now I install this plugin (see shot) but I can't use Markdown in types

[pmario]

hmmm, That's strange. ... What does ControlPanel: Plugins Tab show?

[somenxavier]

It does not appear in Plugins Tab

I think we could issue this as a separate issue: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3141
