Hi,
NOTE: Qt 5.15-only for now, Qt 5.14 possible if wanted
the initial release of markdownpart is here. It is a(nother) Markdown viewer
KParts plugin, which allows KParts-using applications to display files in
Markdown format in the rendered target format.
Examples are Ark, Krusader, Kate's preview plugin & Konqueror.
See it being used with Kate's preview plugin here:
https://cdn.kde.org/screenshots/markdownpart/markdownpart.png
The software is mainly a wrapper around the classes QTextDocument and
QTextBrowser from Qt's QWidgets library. The Markdown support is thus
completely driven by the abilities of those classes.
markdownpart is an alternative to the KParts plugin from KMarkdownWebView,
which uses a QWeb* backend, with all the implications of big dependencies,
runtime costs and potential security risks.
Both KParts plugins can be installed in parallel, the user can choose at
runtime what they prefer (another alternative is the Okular KParts plugin with
Markdown support, which though is different in providing fixed paged display
due to Okular's architecture instead of a single adaptive view, where the
latter is preferred usually for the use-cases).
