Markdown panel

[d.healey]

@orange Thanks, that readme.md file shows up for me. :)

[d.healey]

I'm not seeing anything in the TOC, does this only show up after compiling/exporting the docs?

[orange]

@d-healey Yeah TOC doesn't work for me too. I didn't try compiling, but I think it will be the same.

I think the best way to answer all this is to make a example repository with a demo documentation that shows all features.

are you able to create a tab at the same level as the "readme.md" file? I've tried a lot of times but I can not find the right way to do it.

Yes, this is currently not possible, but I'll add this. In the HISE docs it works because the first level of TOC is hardcoded.

Also to have different colours for each tab and its siblings?

Yes, I have that on my list already - currently the root overwrites all child colours, which prevents the individual colouring, but this will be solved automatically when there are multiple root entries :)

@Christoph-Hart great news! :)

[d.healey]

I just had a plugin that kept failing the tests in Pluginval, once I removed the markdown panel from my project it passed all tests.

[ulrik]

@d-healey it works fine here, with the au plugins in Logic Pro X
using scriptnode from yesterday

[d.healey]

@ulrik I'm using a VSTi, it crashes Reaper and Pluginval when the markdown panel is present.

[ustk]

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart Same thing here, standalone and plugins are crashing if they contain a Markdown panel.

[ulrik]

@d-healey @ustk I checked with the VSTi version as well, works fine here, are you testing in Windows?
I'm on Mac and both au and vst works fine with the Markdown panel, strange...

[Christoph Hart]

I am currently writing an example project for the docs, then I'll make sure it behaves in all contexts.

It's actually not very surprising that it crashes at initialisation as it builds the database on startup which might interfere with the practice of validation tools that load and destroy instances of a plugin very quickly.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Bump bump I'm still getting crashes with the markdown panel. Standalone seems to work but VSTi and VST are crashing, I haven't tried AU.

[ustk]

@d-healey AU seems to stand firm, but I confirm for VST...

[d.healey]

@ustk I assume that was VST on mac?

I just tried VST on Windows and it works fine. So seems to be GNU/Linux and Mac only..

[ustk]

@d-healey Yes on mac, I'll have another look sometime today anyway

[ustk]

@d-healey I must have made a mistake somewhere as VST also works on mac after another test

[d.healey]

@ustk Hmmm. I'm going to make a really simple test with just a markdown panel and see if it works.
