MarkdownConverter v2.0.0

General

It's about time to publish another more verbose release.
This time I put lots of effort into MarkdownConverter to finish some features I wanted to add for a long time.

One of the most notable things I think you might find very useful is
that the destination-path is now fully customizable using the DestinationPattern-option.
The DestinationPath and DestinationOrigin-options have been dropped in favor of said option.

You might want to set the DestinationPattern to whatever pattern to save your documents to, like, for example:

{
  "markdownConverter.DestinationPattern": "${workspaceFolder}/output/${dirname}/${basename}.${extension}"
}

Also, I finally added an option for converting all files at once and one for chaining all documents together.
These features make great use of the DestinationPattern-option as this makes very clear where to store converted files.

Another pretty nice thing is that now every single command reports each progress that's made.
This makes it easier to you to check whether the conversion's still running or what's causing trouble.

Continue reading to see what else changed.

Thank you guys for using MarkdownConverter and for keeping me motivated!
You guys are the best! 🎉

Breaking Changes

  • Added the DestinationPattern-option for specifying a pattern for resolving the destination-path
    You can use following epressions in the DestinationPattern:
    • ${workspaceFolder}:
      Either the path to the workspace, if any, or the directory which contains the document.
    • ${dirname}:
      The relative path from the ${workspaceFolder} to the directory which contains the document.
    • ${basename}:
      The name of the document-file without extension.
    • ${extension}:
      The file-extension of the destination-datatype.
    • ${filename}:
      The name of the document-file with its original extension.
  • Dropped DestinationPath and DestinationOrigin in favor of DestinationPattern

Other Changes

  • Prevented port-collisions when converting multiple files at once
  • Fixed the threading-issues by automatically disabling sandboxed mode if it fails
    Special thanks to @jkhsjdhjs for reporting and also fixing this issue
  • Improved the exception-handling
  • Improved the stability of the code
  • Added a command Convert All Documents for converting all markdown-documents in the current workspace at once
  • Added a command Chain All Documents for chaining all markdown-documents in the current workspace and convert them afterwards
  • Added a fix for loading the VSCodes markdown-it-instance
    Sadly VSCodes markdown-it-parser can only be loaded once a markdown-file has been opened.
    Thus a temporary, empty markdown-file will be opened once a conversion has started
    if the VSCode-parser has not been loaded yet.
  • Provided the functionality to convert to self-contained html-files
  • Added progress-report to every command
