Is restructured text preview on the roadmap?

If not I would like to request that feature as an addon - similar to the markdown preview.

Thanks.

Hi!

The dev team records feature requests and bug reports at https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit/issues, they’d love to hear more there.

The new preview mechanic is entirely modular, making it easy to add your own previewers. As an example check out the markdown previewer:

https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoIDE/blob/master/src/modules/preview/content/sdk/handlers/markdown.js

This gets registered with the previewer via:

require("preview").register("Name", "module/namespace");

You could create an addon using this mechanic by creating a project using the “Komodo Addon Boilerplate” template.

You gave them the KomodoIDE repo link…

Any other link to markdown preview code? KomodoIDE page is 404 - presumably private.

Thanks

Bah, of course. It’s not in Edit. Here’s the code for you to reference:
