This and several other changes in the latest version. Many thanks to GitHub user sevenshamrocks for initiating these fixes/enhancements.
Version 1.0β40 (13 Oct. 2024) includes the following changes:
- Center/right alignment in Google Doc now converts to center/right in HTML conversion (Markdown to come). Note that GitHub-flavored Markdown does not honor alignment directives.
- Lists now close and nest properly for HTML conversion.
- Support added for Markdown checkbox lists.
- Superscript/subscript handling modified to accommodate mixed font formats properly.
Short story: internal links are working again!
Longer story: If you converted any docs in the last couple of days, internal links were broken because Google added some tab information to the heading ID that they generate in the blue-link TOC. If you have any internal links, you need to generate a blue-link TOC, because that is the only way that the Google Doc exposes the heading-ID information. Besides heading information, Google also added some tab information for the new tabbed interface they just rolled out.
See https://github.com/evbacher/gd2md-html/issues/172 for details.
Google rolled out tabs for Google Docs this week. This is breaking internal links to headings in the current Google Doc. Links operate, but take you to the top of the page instead of to the desired heading. See https://github.com/evbacher/gd2md-html/issues/172 for details. Fix coming soon (we hope).
- Italic/bold markup in Markup conversion now defaults to * and **, _ and __ is an option.
- Reckless mode now suppresses both info comments and inline alerts.
- Added a link in the sidebar to News (this file).
- Added a Questions link in the sidebar that goes to the Docs to Markdown community (a Google groups mailing list for questions and discussion).
You can now opt to suppress the info comment at the top of the conversion.
You can now enable reckless mode, which turns off alerts in the conversion output. See Options for details.
Conversion output is now copied automatically to the clipboard: no need copy manually. If the automatic copy fails, a notice to copy and paste the output appears at the top of the conversion output in the sidebar.
