CodeMirror-Talk

You can replace CodeMirror with PmSyntax. Benefits are its built in, and searching works in the text edit area, colouration isn't quite as funky though. Recommended. simon November 04, 2022, at 07:31 AM

Is anybody using CodeMirror to edit not solely PmWiki content but also recipes? If so how? I'm considering using CodeMirror to edit local/config.php and cookbook/*.php by providing a page behind an authentication mechanism with a dropdown list and saving in place. Is anybody doing that?

Very nice plugin, but it seems I've hit a bug: it doesn't like Unicode characters in highlighted code. Cp. the output on these two pages:

https://www-dssz.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/DSSZ/Software/Spike

https://www-dssz.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/BME/wiki/pub/codemirror-5.45.0/mode/spike/

This is the same code, but the second one contains some Unicode characters in the comments like typographic apostrophes and long dashes, e.g.

 // if constant does not exists then it'll be created

vs.

 // if constant does not exists then it’ll be created

When I try the second one in the wiki, the code snippet doesn't show at all.

Sorry, I probably wasn't quite clear. I've already modified mode/meta.js as you suggested, but that doesn't matter in this case. The bug shows up with standard modes, too. There's something wrong either with my PmWiki configuration or with your plugin. Here is the minimal example:

https://www-dssz.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/DSSZ/Main/WikiSandbox

This works:

(:code clike:)[@ // What's up? @]

This doesn't work:

(:code clike:)[@ // What’s up? @]

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Enabling UTF-8 support was actually not enough. It probably would work for newly created pages, but already existing pages are encoded in ISO-8859-1. I ended up patching cm-sourceblock.php like this

196c196
<     array(@$opt['class'], $id, $cm_id, $modeSpec, $opts, IsEnabled($olOffset, 'null'), htmlspecialchars($block)),
---
>     array(@$opt['class'], $id, $cm_id, $modeSpec, $opts, IsEnabled($olOffset, 'null'), PHSC($block)),

See the explanation at Troubleshooting#blank_sections

Thank you for plugin. I've successfully installed it on our wiki (version 2018-02-05). Few comments:

• We use whitespace rules for lists. Lower levels were not highlighted. I changed pmwiki.js:

  • {regex: /\s*[*]+/, sol: true, token: "pm-plist"},
    {regex: /\s*[#]+/, sol: true, token: "pm-nlist"},

  • Unfortunately I am not programmer, so I was not able to change automatic continuation for whitespaced lists. It's in cmcontinuelist.js. Any ideas?
• Sometimes we use more than four dashed for horizontal line. It highlighted only four dashes and rest was on another line. I changed it to:
  • {regex: /----+/, sol: true, token: "pm-hr"},

A brilliant plugin. Now, if only I can get vim mode working. This Codemirror page refers: Vim demo. I have not yet viewed this plugin code, but is possible that Vim support might require higher level changes than on a parameters level as attempted below, refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15152675/using-codemirror-in-vim-mode#15184747

Using Codemirror-5.34.0, I have tried adding each of the following options respectively in /local/config.php before the include_once line to load CodeMirror. In each case CodeMirror does work, but vim mode is not enabled though.

• $CodeMirrorActivePreset['keyMap'] = 'vim';
• $CodeMirrorPresets['keyMap'] = "vim";
• $CodeMirrorPresetParams['keyMap'] = 'vim';
• $CodeMirrorConfig['keyMap'] = "vim";

Any help will be appreciated, thanks. casperl February 05, 2018, at 03:56 AM

To increase the height of the editing area add the line

to pub/css/local.css

To change the font size in the editing area add the line

to pub/css/local.css

Recipes like EditPosFix or RememberEditPosition do not work after installing this receipe. Some function of that kind would be great, allthough. Is there anyone, who can implement this? svasta, 2016-11-30

GuiEditResize recipe does not work when this recipe is enabled

I've had a coworker complain about losing spell checking when this awesome editor is installed. I've attempted to shoe horn in a couple of the suggested fixes (html span assignment or outside javascript) from CM's github discussions but haven't had any luck. Any advice ?

Any trick to make it work nicely on mobile? Utopiah June 20, 2016, at 10:10 AM

How do I change the theme? I know I'm probably missing something simple, but I'm not at a loss. -Monte, 2017-08-18

• I tried replacing pmwiki.css with night.css, but it didn't work. Do I need to update the pmwiki.css file, since it has cm-pm-* -vs- cm-s-* tagging? -Monte, 2017-08-18
