Using the markdown FT

@Christoph-Hart I get it now, thanks :)

@Christoph-Hart I get you for the PDF, but some people (like me ) like to keep all the manuals in one place like iBook or anything else in PDF form. But as we can convert the markdown to PDF, it's a good option to have on top of the online version for users...

What's the method to escape special characters in HISE markdown? For example * and #

[Christoph Hart]

Hmm, good point. Normally I wrap them into a code block like * this!=[]. Is there a Markdown standard for escape characters?

[d.healey]

Depends on the standard. Github uses backslashes, I've seen others use < or > and reference to using |

@Christoph-Hart Any news on this?

Also, @ulrik shows above that we can have tree menus in the TOC, but I can only get one level, not two, no matter how many # I use...

[ustk]

Ok so I managed to find a solution by placing different .md in separate folders.

Although the only way I found to get them in a logical order is adding a number in front of the keywords.
Is there a more elegant way to class them without adding numbers?

[ulrik]

@ustk if I remember you can set an index for every .md, to sort, like

@ulrik Oh cool! Checking asap ;)

Use the documentation tutorial as a template, it has everything you need, including a tutorial :p

@d-healey Oh! How could I miss it...

[ustk]

@d-healey Thanks, David! I learned a lot ;)

[Jay]

@ulrik any example of this?

[d.healey]

@Jay Look at my last reply.

[Jay]

@d-healey I look but I don't see it

[ulrik]

@Jay it's called "DocumentationTutorial", here https://github.com/christophhart/hise_tutorial/tree/master/DocumentationTutorial

Download it and open it in Hise and you will get a lot of information from it

@ulrik Thank you

Has anyone gotten images to display within the markdown panel? I can't get this to work.

[d.healey]

@dustbro Markdown panel is broken at the moment. I have a video on patreon about it and its current issues.

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey Got it working!... but now I can't break it so I can share how to fix.

I tried all of these soloutions:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41604263/how-to-display-local-image-in-markdown

And then when I went back to the original code, it was working. Might have something to do with additional spaces either before or after the image code.

Lemme tinker for a bit
