Add playground about djot HOT 6 CLOSED

@jgm Sure. It is a Vite app using the Svelte framework.

The steps to build is as follows:

1. Install Node.js (version 16 or above).
2. Run corepack enable in a terminal to make the yarn command available.
3. Run yarn install to install the project dependencies.
4. Run yarn build to build the project.
5. The files are in dist folder.

If you prefer not to install software, a cloud-based approach is available:

1. Open the repo in Gitpod: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/dtinth/djot-playground (Gitpod will auto-detect the project build setup and install the dependencies automatically.)
2. Open a new terminal and type yarn build to generate the files.
3. Right click on the dist folder and select "Download" to download the build output.

Hope it helps.

I will try to make one available. Of course it would be easier if we had a JavaScript version. I wonder how far one could get with automated Lua -> JS converters?

👍

I have no lua experience so I don’t know the ecosystem. However, as they’re somewhat similar, and that I’d imagine more folks would need lua -> js, something probably exists? Or to WASM? https://github.com/ceifa/wasmoon or https://medium.com/@imwithye/port-lua-to-web-environment-using-webassembly-3144a8ac000e?

I’m also contemplating whether it is possible to have a feature flag in my markdown parsers to support djot or commonmark. It mostly depends on how big the difference is, whether that’s feasible. But that might work. I don’t plan on working on this any time soon though.

Djot looks interesting!

I whipped up a little playground here: https://djot-playground-poc.vercel.app/

It loads up Djot source code directly from GitHub main branch and runs it through wasmoon. However, there is a hardcoded list of files that must be kept up-to-date. I have no intention to maintain the playground, so please feel free to fork. Hope it’s useful!

@dtinth that's excellent! Before seeing this, I managed to get something working with emscripten. But yours might be a better approach (the code looks simpler), and if so I'll fork it. Thank you.

@dtinth can you explain how to compile your code into something I could put on a web server? I don't know much about the JS ecosystem.
