orgdown

Tries to make markdown feel like orgmode

Ideas (WIP)

Editing speed

The plugin will provide automatic list continuation and so on.

Visual appeal

Markdown in plain text is boring and plain. I want to use the conceal feature of vim to replace headers, lists and so on with some nice unicode alternatives. I don't know whether it is possible to make text conditionally bold using conceal, but I want to do it.

Every "group", meaning something like a header, is by default a fold. This fold will just look like the normal line (this depends on this pr to be merged into neovim, else there is no color)

Code execution

When someone talks about how awesome orgmode is, they almost always mention that you can execute codeblocks in org files. I want to support this by parsing the code block and sending the content to a function defined in userland. This function then returns the resulting output of the code block.

The function for a filetype has to be defined in the config file of vim.

example

orgdown.code_executors['lua'] = function(content)
  -- content is a list of lines
end

When the cursor is inside a code block you can execute it by using the OrgdownExecute command.

For now I'm thinking about just opening a split/floating window that shows the output.
