gfm-advanced

Another GitHub Flavored Markdown plugin for intellij platform.

This plugin is almost a re-work for gfm-plugin by Shyyko Serhiy.

Actually I was creating a pull request to the gfm-plugin which stopped working recent intellij IDEs.
In the work I found out that the problem of the gfm-plugin comes from JxBrowser which is very difficult to make a patch.
I need to re-organize the whole code to replace JxBrowser to another browser component, so I decided to create an original repository which can be managed by my own.

Feature

• Preview markdown as github flavored markdown by GitHub Markdown API.
• If internet connection is not available, use offline markdown parser instead.
• Using embedded Chromium browser to display preview.

GitHub Markdown API rate limit

GitHub API rate limit

GitHub API restricts request rate without authentication token.
* As of 2020-07-06, 60 requests per hour without auth token while 5000 req/hour with auth token.

So I strongly recommend to set auth token which can be generated at GitHub page header menu "Settings" -> "Developer settings" -> "Personal access tokens". * You don't have to provide any permission to the token for gfm-advanced plugin.

In case you don't have a GitHub account and/or internet connection is not available, markdown parser will fall back to flexmark-java markdown parser.
