ReText 3.0 Beta 1
Kubuntu 11.10

Syntax highlighting is broken in case of Markdown links. Underlining sometimes does not stop by the end of an URL. One of the reasons is link in parenthesis, but it is not the only one. See the attachment.

please add support for [http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/](pandoc's extension) to markdown, since it is a very convenient lot of additions.
Maybe some other extensions could be added, but I am not familiar with the other so that I can only recomment Pandoc's one.
Note: There is already a pandoc wrapper for python by Kenneth Reitz: https://github.com/kennethreitz/pyandoc

I would like to have a nice option called: "Split panel". To see the preview window at same time with the editor. I mean the preview on right, and the editor on left. I think that could be really helpful, to see changes in real time.
Thanks!

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a directory, and give yourself read permission but not write permission.
2. Open ReText, and attempt to save a document to that folder.
3. The entire program will crash, losing all data.

Whoops :)

In my ReText.conf file I had the following line:
styleSheet=/home/xxxxxx/css/retext.css

However, this causes the following error upon startup in ReText 3.0:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/retext", line 1447, in <module>
    main("")
  File "/usr/bin/retext", line 1431, in main
    window = ReTextWindow()
  File "/usr/bin/retext", line 388, in __init__
    ssname = settings.value('styleSheet', type='QString')
TypeError: QSettings.value(QString, QVariant defaultValue=QVariant()): 'type' is not a valid keyword argument

ReText 2.4 still starts up fine with the same ReText.conf file. If I comment out that line, ReText 3.0 will start up.

I'll try and submit a patch as soon as possible but this request is such low hanging fruit I thought I would ask first.

Would you consider adding .markdown, .mdown, .mkd & .mkdn to the supported file list? Without the change, I frequently have have change the filetype filter dropdown to "All files".

Here's a list of general standards accepted for markdown extensions:

• Vim (7.3): markdown, mdown, mkd, mkdn
• Github: markdown, mdown, mkd, mkdn, md
• Elements Markdown Editor: markdown, mdown, mdwn, md
• BBEdit: markdown, mark

Thanks for the helpful tool. Cheers, Mark S.

Hi:

I find that when using WebKit to preview the document, when I click a link, the link is opened by the preview tab, and it seems that there is no way to get back other than close the tab and open it again.

I think it is better to use the desktop default browser to open link when using WebKit. And here is the patch

Hi, I've installed retext and I cannot see any icons in the toolbar.
I use Lubuntu 12.04.

Running from command line it says:

$ retext 
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.
No value set for `/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme'

This command fixes it:

gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme lubuntu

Is there a way to get that automatically? Or is this a lubuntu problem?
I found the icon name "lubuntu" in /usr/share/icons/.

Just a post to let you know that ReText 3.1.0 can work ALSO on Mac OS X!!! :-)

My main OS is Kubuntu, but this evening I tried to run ReText on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, just for fun.

You can get it work installing most of the needed libraries from macports (warning: compiling PyQt takes a lot of time!).
Only markdown needs a special treatment: you need to run

easy_install Markdown

After doing that, you should be able to run ReText from the command line.

Almost. In fact, there are lots of probabilities that it won't run.

Since using macports we are installing another version of python on our Macs, the default shebang won't work, since the version of python bundled with OS X doesn't know anything about PyQt.

We need to change the first line in retext.py, as suggested by the official Python documentation (you know, they're always right when they tell you what to do):

:::python
#!/usr/bin/env python

After changing that, it would run fine. You can load markdown files, edit them, syntax highlighting works, preview modes work.

You won't see any icon. It's expected: the app is looking for them in gnu/linux standard paths, and obviously they aren't there on your Mac.

Didn't try it extensively, but most of the things seem working.

I even tried to build an app bundle, something like those standalone apps you launch on your Mac double clicking on a nice icon, and was successul at it, using py2app:
http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html

The result is quite huge (100 MB, stripping most obvious modules), but, again, it works, and should be self contained enough for distribution (it takes ~30MB, if stuffed in a compressed DMG package). I'm sure we can do better.

Maybe with a little work we could do a serius port of ReText to Mac OS X.

In the meantime, you can get my experimental app bundle from this link:

ReText 2.0.0

Any editing resets position in preview window to the very beginning which makes ReText unusable for editing long texts.

I downloaded ReText 0.5.1.
I have unpacked it on Slackware 13.1. I installed Markdown 2.0.3 from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Markdown in order to run the applications, and the remaining requirements are fulfilled, from what I can tell.
However, the application fails to display any icons! I am running it on Xfce.

Slackware includes

• Qt 4.6.2
• PyQt 4.7.3

Could it be an issue with default icon sets?

Hi, I was just wondering if you'd consider adding a minimal, full-screen mode for ReText, similar to what iA Writer for Mac (http://www.iawriter.com) has? That'd be a killer feature for writers looking to completely focus on the work itself.

if QFile.exists("app.css"):
    sheetfile = QFile("app.css")
    sheetfile.open(QIODevice.ReadOnly)
    style = QTextStream(sheetfile).readAll()
    app.setStyleSheet(style)
    sheetfile.close()

I wrote a new improved PKGBUILD for Arch Linux (not posted yet). I've stumbled upon this.

.qm files are searched in /usr/lib/retext (retext.py, line 792).

/usr/lib is a libraries directory, and it doesn't seem appropriate to place translation files here.

Other packages in my system use directories like this:

/usr/share/program/translations/*.qm

or

/usr/share/program/locale/*.qm

I suggest this is changed.

Thanks for the software.

The syntax of markdown for code is not correctly supported. This syntax is heavily used on Github for example.

But this not working :

```ruby
class Post
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :title

  def slug
    title.try(:parameterize)
  end

  has_many :comments
end

Explanation, in details :

```~~

class Post
include Mongoid::Document
field :title
end

```~~

This should be rendered as <pre><code> and for now, it is as <p><code>.


```~~
```ruby
class Post
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :title
end

The ruby word is to specify syntax highlighting, and should not be rendered. For now, it is. (I don't mean that I want syntax hightlighting by this way).

```~~

class Post
include Mongoid::Document

field :title
end

```~~


Blank lines should be present inside the code block. For now, it breaks it.

I just discovered ReText, and beyond this particular code block point, it seems nice. Great job :)

Since the markdown module can handle umlauts(ä,ö,ü,etc.) if they are decoded correctly, it's sad that it does not work in reText too.

It can be done as shown in the following example:

input = open("input.md", "r").read()
utf_input = input.decode("utf-8")
utf_output = markdown.markdown(utf_input)
output = utf_output.encode("uft-8")
open("output.md", "w").write(output)

I think many german users will appreciate this fix.

Hi, I use ReText everyday to write articles, but the default tab indentation width too long, so I make a patch to ReText to support space indentation, and can use Tab and Backtab to indent more or less of a selected text.

I add two options to settings:

• spaceIndentation: true/false Whether or not use space for indentation
• spaceIndentationWidth: 4/8 Use 4 spaces or 8 spaces for space indentation , default 4.

I make the patch from the master branch, hope it will be helpful.

I installed ReText 3.03 (both by downloading it from sourceforge.net and by adding the ppa archive and adding it through synaptic) on Linux Mint 12 LXDE and all of the icons such as "new," "open," and "save" are all missing. Only the text of "Preview is visible" and the outline of the buttons and their text cursor hints appear when you hover the cursor over them. I have installed all of the dependencies listed in the README. I also tried installing ReText on Lubuntu 11.10, Bodhi Linux 1.3.0, and ubuntu-12.04 on a virtualbox.
