add tidy-markdown support
notslang opened this issue · 2 comments
If you want to get rid of the pandoc dep, I wrote a markdown beautifier in pure JS: https://github.com/slang800/tidy-markdown (so it can be required via npm)
I have added support / switched to tidy-markdown for the next release of Atom Beautify (see #282 ).
However I will not be able to release with tidy-markdown yet because there are a couple bugs / missing features (see notslang/tidy-markdown#7 and notslang/tidy-markdown#8) that will break Atom Beautify's Markdown backwards compatibility (tidy-markdown is not yet equal to and therefore cannot be substituted for Pandoc).
That being said, I am very pleased with tidy-markdown and it is definitely a better solution than using Pandoc. Once these two Issues above are taken care of then we are all set to release! Thank you for the great work so far!
Published to v0.25.0
This is a very big release with lots of internal changes and (hopefully) no breaking changes. Please let me know if you are experiencing any unusual behaviour / breaking changes after updating. Thank you.
