Hi Benny,
After sundown...
Is there a way for regaining the ability to customize HTML
generation from Markdown (both for previews and for the final
content before sending) ?
Unless I am mistaken, at one point in time, the
markdown->html conversion was switched to make use of an
internal commonMark library (instead of an external program). I can
see the benefits of the new approach, especially relating to
performance improvements.
But now, there doesn't seem to be any way to influence HTML
generation or swap in an alternative markdown flavor or
implementation... or add/remove markdown features.
BTW, I do share MailMate's basic opinionated stand (of leanly
marked-up text), but occasionaly, I do need to make use of
something a bit fancier (like underline, or color).
If MailMate allowed to use an external program that reads
markdown on stdin and prints HTML on
stdout, like before, the whole thing could be
elegantly solved... (optionally, without much preprocessing or
escaping by MailMate itself).
This doesn't have to be the default mechanism, just as long as
we can configure it, like with the three hidden preferences below
:
- enable/disable the feature
- path to the executable
- turn preprocessing on/off (that MailMate seems to do for
escaping and automatic link detection)
Cheers,
Ayhan
