Layout issues in Version 3.1.11 (1189)

Viewed 9

I downloaded the latest update and am starting a new question here vs continung with the older one.

I've attached zip files containing files that should show you the issues as indicated below. I've removed most of the MD files except for a few to make the testing easier. However, when I tried exporting a pageinated PDF (didn't try any other export types) with all 400+ pages, the layout process never finished and eventually just stopped responding. I let it go for well over 15 minutes. I'd put that aside for now since I need to use another downstream app to resize & reposition images and can make multiple pageinated PDF's work.

It seems none of the PDF exporters recognize the width parameter in my MD files but it's not technically a standard syntax.

...(photo.jpg)... {"width":259}... (dropped the MD syntax as it won't display)

When I export with the app I'm using, Lettera (beta from the makers of Bear) as HTML the width parm is recognized which is understandable. I have options here so this isn't an issue but more like a "nice-to-have".

I've included a number of PDF and even the HTML outputs from my testing in zips for comparisons.

This is what I tested & results:

  • using "index-2.md"

    • same parent as species folders
    • no images
    • page breaks not working
    • using CommonMark & MultiMarkdown Processor
    • Callouts not working
    • partial TOC
  • using "index.md"

    • resides up one level from all the folders (“birding stories”)
    • images are showing in preview & output
    • page breaks not working
    • using CommonMark & MultiMarkdown Processor
    • callouts not working
    • partial TOC
  • using "01 - species page.MD" directly

    • images are showing and they exist in same folder as MD
    • page breaks not working
    • using CommonMark & MultiMarkdown Processor
    • callouts working
    • complete TOC

The reason I'm using Marked was for the multi-file processing and Page Breaks, the latter being most important.

Must have:

  1. Page Breaks
  2. Images displayed

Would like to have: (works sometimes)

  1. Callouts displaying properly (not just text)
  2. Multi-file input (I can use another app if we can't get this working)

Nice-to-Have:

  1. TOC
  2. PDF export recognizes "width=" on image tag (I haven't found anyone doing this)

Is there a recommended file structure that works best for Marked to include images and also support multi-file processing?

Here is a screenshot with the step that it hung on when processing all 400 pages or ~120 MD files.

There's a max file upload size of 20mb; so, I created multiple zips for your reference as needed.

zip file of content:
Birding Stories.zip

zip file of multi-file test output:
multifile test results.zip

zip file of single MD test output and Lettera's PDF output.
single MD file test results.zip

zip file of Lettera's HTML output:
html example.zip

btw, Lettera is the follow-up to Panda a standalone file based MD editor.

thanks -tom
