I love the markdown editor, especially the auto-scrolling feature.
The only problem is that it doesn't really scroll to the part you're editing - instead it assumes that if you've scrolled to 50% in the markdown code, the preview should also scroll to 50%. Add a couple of images and this assumption becomes false.
I know this is hard to do (involves hooking into the markdown parser) but it would truly be a killer feature.
- bhauer 14y agoI posted this in the other thread, so I apologize if it's redundant. I agree, auto-scrolling the preview panel is important. In my personal blog, I didn't use Markdown, but rather just plain HTML (with some minor tweaks). What I did to synchronize the editor and preview was: 1. Find the shortest path out of a currently-edited tag (look to see if the cursor is between a nearby set of < and > characters). In most cases, the cursor is not in a tag, so this is not needed. 2. Insert an empty marker span. 3. Find that span in the preview pane. 4. Find the span's parent block, add a class to that block to highlight it, and then scroll to its location.
