Yes, Dave, I've had that sort of problem with Python time and time again. Its really turned me off from Python as as a programming language. On 2019-03-06 10:07 a.m., Dave Howorth wrote:
So what do people recommend for viewing markdown files?
Most MD files I encounter are either on the web or on my tablet. I've done some MD text work using RoR, specifically using markdown to do MD->HTML https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ I'd trust perl as being more portable than Python, but that's just my experience. The context you are talking about then, yes, the simplest is to convert to HTML (if there are not embedded images needing carted about) and apart from markdown on your own machine there are a number of online pass-through tools for that. MD->HTML is pretty simple. Of course there is also pandoc which can convert just about anything to anything else: https://software.opensuse.org/package/pandoc It seems to be the swiss-army-knife of document conversion, so be wary. I understand there is also MD->PDF pass-through on the 'net but I've never tried that. If you use Chrome/chromium there is (?was?) a plug-in to allow MD to be read/converted directly. https://markdownlivepreview.com/ -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
