[tw5] Re: Announcing Editor-Autolist-Markdown

[Daryl Sun]

Thank you for your reply!

I didn't know the toolbar was actually responsible for most of the 
functionality of Editor-Autolist, and by extension Editor-Autolist-Markdown. 
I never used it, and I don't use keyboard shortcuts for formatting since I 
format by hand - unless it's indentation, in which I curse myself out for 
automatically hitting Tab to indent a bullet and forget it doesn't work in 
TiddlyWiki without Editor-Autolist.

Also, I apologize for my mistake: Big Text Area isn't a built-in feature, 
but an add-on to Stroll under Goodies 
<https://giffmex.org/stroll/goodies.html>. It's not included in Stroll by 
default, which is probably why you weren't aware of it. I myself only came 
across while looking through David Gifford's TiddlyWiki Toolmap. 

Furthermore, I forgot to add that I'm fairly new to TiddlyWiki: I've 
tinkered with settings and plugins, and I'm familiar with HTML and CSS, but 
that's it. I confess I'm no coder and have no idea how TiddlyWiki works 
under the hood. However, I'll try your suggestions and report back my 
findings.

Again, thanks for the help!

[tw5] Re: Announcing Editor-Autolist-Markdown

[Daryl Sun]

Hello!

Thank you very much for this plugin. I use Markdown for note-taking, and 
it's always driven me crazy that I have to manually set indentation for my 
bullet-lists, since I can't use Editor-Autolist. So I'm very pleased to see 
that a Markdown version now exists.

However, I've found a bug where the plugin stops working if the editor 
toolbar is hidden. I discovered this because I use Big Text Area from 
Stroll, and I couldn't get Editor-Autolist-Markdown to work. I managed to 
replicate the bug in an empty TiddlyWiki file with only the official 
Markdown plugin +  Editor-Autolist-Markdown, and everything else default, 
*but* the editor toolbar is disabled. I tested this in Firefox on Windows 
10.

I understand if this is a very unusual use case and it's not a high 
priority to fix it. I have a knack for finding strange bugs.
