Ixora

WARNING: Ixora is under heavy development, but is quite usable.

Ixora is a CodeMirror 6 extension pack to make writing Markdown fun and beautiful.

This library includes:

• Proper heading font sizes
• Hidden decoration marks (*italic* -> italic but style is preserved)
• Auto link detection
• Support for ID links (eg. [Foo bar](#foo-bar))
• YAML frontmatter support
• Styling for lots of Markdown elements
• Lots more?

Installation

1. Install the @retronav/ixora package using the package manager of your choice.

2. Import the extensions you need

   import { headings, codeblock, list } from '@retronav/ixora';
   

   Or import all of them at once

   import ixora from '@retronav/ixora';
   

3. Add them in the extensions parameter of your CodeMirror editor creation function.

   const editor = new EditorView({
   	state: EditorState.create({
   		extensions: [
   			// If you import all at once
   			ixora,
   
   			// ...
   
   			// If you import indivivually
   			headings(),
   			codeblock(),
   			lists()
   
   			// ...
   		]
   	})
   });
