Markdown syntax autocompletion

Hello, is there any autocompletion when typing ?

Hi,

There are some, but markdown doesn’t lend itself to autocomplete as much as other formats.

Offhand, Deepdwn supports autocomplete for:

  • links to document headings
  • footnotes
  • relative links to images and other documents (and their headings)
  • known categories and tags in the yaml frontmatter
  • the yaml properties themselves that deepdwn uses (title, category, description, dir, pinned, tags)
  • Mermaid chart names
  • code autocomplete for some languages inside code blocks

Fountain documents support a number of common fields in the title page, characters and scene names, and some suffixes for those.

Is there some functionality you’re looking for, specifically?

I tried various Markdown editors (and paid for some) and I use Caret for writing blog’s posts. It is very convenient with autocompletion.

When you type **, Caret shows automatically **(caret)** so you don’t have to close the **. It’s the same for [, (, _ and so on - to get out of the block created, TAB will make the deal. It speeds my workflow. When I try other Markdown editors where I have to close Markdown syntax, I’m quite bored.

Why am I searching another editor ? Because Caret is not perfect. It has some visual glitches and don’t manage very well big documents.

Got it.

No, that’s not something that Deepdwn does currently. I’ll add it to feature requests
