• Support for SmartyPants in the PageDown Extra extension
• Keyboard shortcuts setting pane
• YAML front matter parsing and interpreted for Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr publications

This is a great editor - perfect for note-taking. However, the Chrome app doesn't seem to be updating - it seems to be stuck on version 2.1.7.

Yes chrome app and Google drive are still pointing to the github server for now. I will have to handle local storage transfer from the old domain to the new one for user not to lose their documents.

Thank you for the great editor. It gets better and better :)

According to the 'Publish on ...' dialog, StackEdit supports title and tags variables of YAML front matter. That already fixes #83. I hope support for date (publish date) will follow :)

Awesome SSL support - can't have the NSA reading my blog posts! Quick question: is the Chrome app using the SSL version?

[benweet]

Nope, as mentioned above:

NOTE: Actually, I wouldn't be so sure... Personally, I don't trust certificate authorities. But that's still a higher level of protection.

Personally, I don't trust certificate authorities.

Interesting - why not?

[benweet]

Because I don't know how safely their secret keys are stored. But please, I don't want to debate...

[mAAdhaTTah]

Wasn't planning on it, just legitimately had no idea. Thanks for your help!

[benweet]

You are welcome. Chrome app and Google Drive should now direct you to the new domain.

Thanks so much for the YAML front matter update.

It parses in the preview perfectly but when a post is published to Tumblr the post includes all the YAML at the top of the post.

Everything works - eg the title and tags are parsed properly (and it safely ignores the date for now) but I then have to manually strip out the YAML front matter from the post I just published on Tumblr.

Anyway hopefully this can be fixed - I look forward to the date getting included too at some point, that would be great.

@rollbahn I will have to add "Markdown without front matter" option or maybe a template variable. In the meantime, you can use this template as a workaround:

<%= frontMatter ? documentMarkdown.substring(frontMatter._yaml.length + 8) : documentMarkdown %>

The _yaml attribute is the content of the frontMatter. I'm adding +8 to the length assuming you are wrapping the front matter with ---\n and \n--- without other spaces.

[benweet]

@rollbahn I just created a new template variable trimmedDocumentMarkdown available in version 2.2.2.

[rollbahn]

That's awesome - thanks very much for the quick reply and solution. I'll try that out today.

I have about 200 articles I am moving from Wordpress to Tumblr and storing in Dropbox so StackEdit allows me to keep them in Markdown at Dropbox and publish to Tumblr.

[rollbahn]

I noticed a bug (I think) with tags in YAML front matter.

I had the following in a draft post on StackEdit - "tags: learn hiragana,beginner,learn japanese,worksheets" and the two word tags are being split in to two separate tags.

So "learn hiragana" is becoming "#learn #hiragana" rather than "#learn hiragana" once posted to Tumblr.

Hi @rollbahn
Can you open another ticket? Thx

[benweet]

trimmedDocumentMarkdown has been renamed to strippedDocumentMarkdown.

Does the spell check feature only red flag mis-spelled words? Or is there function where I can have it suggest the correct spelling? I tried to right click, but there was no suggestion from the menu.

[benweet]

Suggestions should appear in the context menu at least in Chrome and Firefox (maybe try to right click several times). However it doesn't perform any correction.
