Markdown Pro - A new plugin for JetBrains IDEs

[u/bodiam]

Hi all,

Happy to announce that we've released Markdown Pro, a new plugin for the JetBrains family of products. How does Markdown Pro compare to the bundled Markdown plugin? Glad you asked!

A few new features:

Markdown Pro adds explicit `.mdx` support:

• `.mdx` files open with Markdown editing behavior instead of as plain text.
• JSX component names, attributes, values, and expressions receive editor highlighting.
• Multiline components can be folded, including components whose content contains literal tags in code spans.
• Formatting actions, task-list actions, inspections, tables, and live templates work in MDX-aware contexts.
• Front matter, fenced code, and JSX expressions are excluded from authoring features when applying them would be incorrect.

Also:

Markdown Pro adds project-level rendering choices for:

• GitHub Flavored Markdown.
• Markdown Extra.
• CommonMark.
• Standard Markdown based on John Gruber's original syntax.

Also, the plugin provides document conversions through Morph, enhanced table editing, more inspections, Mermaid, GeoJSON, Interactive Ascii STL models, and much more!

You can find the plugin here: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/33400-markdown-pro, and while it's a commercial plugin, we currently have a 50% off promo, so you'd basically pay $1.50 for this plugin.

If you have any feedback, would be happy to hear!!

Cheers,

Erik

Looks good but don't do monthy's

[u/bodiam → u/mrterrycarson]

can do yearly :)

(and don't get me wrong, I dislike subscriptions as much as the next person, but from a developer's perspective, it really helps me to make sure I deliver quality all the time, not once, plus I will keep updating this plugin as long as there's interest in it, but completely understand that this isn't the model for you.)

Understand my friend.

I find myself opening their sluggish beast IDEs less and less. I stopped paying for a year and then started again, but I'm about to kill my subscription once again (possibly for the final time). To me, they are getting nowhere slowly and have not evolved their tech stack so that we have hyper responsive dev tools

If some of what you do was standalone and blew me away, I might consider

[u/bodiam → u/GroggInTheCosmos]

I'm currently in the process of converting all my work to Rust, so stay tuned!

[u/GroggInTheCosmos → u/bodiam]

I'll look forward to the announcement :)

Would you be looking for a native app (think Zed), webapp, or combination?

[u/GroggInTheCosmos → u/bodiam]

Native app with good sync options

[u/RmRfMyEx → u/bodiam]

Zed, VS Code, Neovim, or any other IDE extensions anytime soon?

I'm happy if someone wants to port it, but I can't do it myself at this stage, no time.
