Markdown Transform — Convert Markdown to BBCode, HTML, and RTF

Update.

Fix list displaying by eliminating surrounding whitespace.

To update, download the latest version (same URL) or wait a few days and it’ll prompt you to on next usage, since it uses OneUpdater.

I'm getting this with the latest version:

Tried to upgrade Homebrew Ruby with no success.

[xilopaint]

Nevermind. I just saw some posts above I could fix the issue rebuilding redcarpet.

Just as a note, I think the commands need to be modified with a / after ${HOME} to work properly:

mv "${HOME}/Desktop/Dropbox/Alfred3_Sync_Folder/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.1A72E7E5-AF98-4BB3-9C50-2E1BE8F769F2/_licensed/Redcarpet" "${HOME}/.Trash"

/usr/bin/gem install --install-dir "${HOME}/Desktop/Dropbox/Alfred3_Sync_Folder/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.1A72E7E5-AF98-4BB3-9C50-2E1BE8F769F2/_licensed/Redcarpet" --no-document redcarpet

Good catch, @Guy Stan, thank you. Fixed.

Might be a stupid question but when I do the the mk > rtf I lose all my line breaks. Probably some poor handling on my site but any way around it and fix it?

Unfortunately that somewhat depends on the target application. But try the newest version (jus updated) as it may work for you.

Hey Vitor, I'm getting this:

I should add that I followed this procedure with no success.

@_atanas Try this in a terminal:

mv '/Users/atanasjanackovski/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/user.workflow.C2D7D30E-F51F-489C-AB45-C098803A3AD0/_licensed/Redcarpet' "${HOME}/.Trash"

The same caveat as before applies.

 

Since redcarpet seems to require rebuilding depending on the macOS version, I should integrate the fix into the Workflow.

@xilopaint Are you on Catalina? I’m not and won’t be for a long while (likely ever, considering how buggy and problematic it is), so I won’t be able to debug it for now.

Yes. I guess Catalina is frowned upon because of the hard Beta program which was surrounded by a lot of criticism. Yet I haven't  been facing issues since the release of the first stable version, it's been really pretty stable for me.

It was not just the beta period. I still find credible reports of issues—in both Catalina and iOS 13—including in first-party apps. On Homebrew Cask, it’s common to have problems reported that happen only in Catalina. Multiple casks required updates because of it. Had the problems been ironed out in the betas (they were not, which is why Apple is making more releases than usual), they wouldn’t have felt the need to revamp their own testing methods for future versions.

We’re having this conversation because you reported an issue that is likely to be caused by a mess up in Catalina.

[deanishe]

Having the same issue on my new iMac (it's got Catalina ). Wish I knew enough about Ruby to fix it.

 

I guess I'll have to dust off my old Pandoc-based Markdown->BBCode converter I used before you added a proper Markdown parser to this workflow, and add your much nicer styles to it.

[vitor]

Had a few ideas and did a bit of investigating, and the failure seems to be related to a macOS bug.

Can anyone try running:

/usr/bin/gem install --no-document --install-dir "${HOME}/Desktop/Redcarpet" redcarpet

That should place a Redcarpet directory on your Desktop. Does it? Does it give any errors?

The latest version of the workflow is working for me on Catalina.

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention that just before that comment I updated the Workflow’s dependencies. Though I was expecting it to still need further fixing for Catalina, but great that it’s working for you! Let’s see if it’s working for @deanishe as well.

[deanishe]

Yes, it works fine on Catalina for me.

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly with Firefox   It adds a bunch of extra line breaks. (IIRC, you added them on purpose to fix the skanky behaviour of the forum editor in Safari & Chrome?)

 

But don't worry about me. I have my own MD -> BBCode converter workflow based on a Pandoc script I found (which I've messed around with to fix the skanky behaviour of the forum editor in Firefox).
