Hey John, first thx for contributing to NetBeans, this is cool 😊. Second, unfortunately I can’t see the images maybe you can upload them to an image hoster and add the links here 😊.
To your plugin, I downloaded it and tested it, now no real difference from yours to pegdown except from using flexmark, which is pretty cool. I have a couple of things to improve your plugin, I will create tickets at your repo but maybe you can join the NetBeans slack room to chat about it first 😊. It is too long and a bit out of scope for this thread here. What do you think? Also we can talk via private mail if you want. Cheers Chris Von: John Kostaras Gesendet: Sonntag, 24.

When you open it in NetBeans, you only see the raw markdown text. This simple NetBeans module (https://github.com/jkost/MarkdownViewerForNetBeans/) implements the first and third of the above screenshots (will provide an implementation of the middle screenshot soon). The result looks like so. I used flexmark-java (which is also used by NetBeans) to convert the markdown to HTML to be displayed to a JEditorPane. Questions: 1. How to integrate it to NetBeans source code if it is found useful? Do I need to create a plugin, sign it etc, then import it NB or it is easier with a pull request? 2. Not sure which location it should be added. Inside editor, inside ide? Any comments/suggestions are welcome. Kind regards, John.
