I have created another plugin for the MarkItUp widget. I know that plugin_wiki has this currently, but I wanted a dedicated plugin for this for an upcoming project I'm working on.
You can get the plugin from Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/PhreeStyle/web2py_markitup There is no documentation yet, as I just pushed the code. But I wanted to announce in case anyone wants to play with this. It has not been thoroughly tested and is only an alpha at this point. It can be used with several different markup languages: - BBCode - HTML - Markdown - Markmin - reStructuredText - Textile - Wiki The plugin can be used standalone, or as a form field widget. It currently supports live previews for 4 markup languages: html, markmin, markdown, textile, and bbcode. Code blocks for markmin and markdown markup are highlighted by pygments, which is included as part of the plugin. No external dependencies. Using pygments for code highlighting allows over 100 languages to be highlighted. Code highlighting in markmin: `` def testing(): print 'Testing' ``:python Code highlighting in markdown: :::python def testing(): print 'Testing' Markdown requires four spaces at the beginning of each line for code blocks. Example for basic usage: from plugin_markitup.markitup import MarkItUp def test(): widget = MarkItUp(set_name='markmin').markitup() return dict(widget=widget) Example model for form fields: from plugin_markitup.markitup import MarkItUp db.define_table('content', Field('name', length=20), Field('description', 'text') ) db.content.description.widget = MarkItUp().widget Example controller: def test(): form = SQLFORM(db.content) if form.accepts(request, session): redirect(URL()) return dict(form=form) This plugin is more of an alpha preview, so I expect there to be problems and inconsistencies. Please try it out and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or problems!
