- # Outline editor prototype
- An outline-based markdown editor experiment
- ### Infuences::
- Logseq
- Conboy (Nokia N900's Tomboy clone)
- Bonsai (on PalmOS)
- Google Keep (editor)
-
- // Seems that I unintentionally implemented quite a chunk of the markdown spec ;)
-
- ## Bugs:
focused:: true
- BUG: caret positioning broken
- Example:
- text text text
<div>
block element
</div>
this line, and above placement of completely broken
- _this seems to be an issue with: `.getMarkdownOffset(..)`_
- ```
m = `text text text
<div>
block element
</div>
this line, and above placement of completely broken`
t = 'text text text\n\n\nblock element\n\n\nthis line, and above placement of completely broken '
getMarkdownOffset(m, t, 26)
```
this returns `69` while it should return `5`
_...replacing `\n\n\n` with `\n\n` seems to fix the issue_
(BUG also the above line is not italic -- can't reproduce)
- DONE clicking right of this line will select last line of block
```
text text text
```
this line, placement is offset by 2
- DONE text text text
_text text text_
text text text
- DONE M
M can't place cursor before first char
M
- BUG: parser: code blocks do not ignore single back-quotes...
- ```
x = `moo`
```
- _this also leads to double quoting of html..._
```
x = `<i>moo</i>`
```
- BUG: mobile browsers behave quite chaotically ignoring parts of the styling...
- FF:
- zooming on edited field
- normal textarea is not sized correctly
- General:
- side margins are a bit too large (account for toolbat to the right)
-
- ## ToDo:
- Q: can we place a cursor in a table correctly???
- custom element / web component
- BUG: select via double/triple clicks does not work...
- _looks like something is refocusing the element..._
- BUG/race: the non-value versions of custom elem seem to sometimes get loaded as empty...
- DONE data interface:
collapsed:: true
- the "natural" way to pass data is to use the same mechanism as `<textarea>` the problem is that we can't extend `HTMLTextAreaElement` as it can not have shadow dom (reject?)
- adding an explicit textarea element is an odd requirement (reject?)
- seems that the least bad way to go is to use the `value` attribute
- DONE API: directly mixin Outline?
- DONE `.value` / `.code` should be both updated internally and also load new content when updated externally -- not yet sure how...
- events
- test nesting...
- Q: can we get rid of the editor block??:
- CSS breaks if we do...
- need to figure out a way to handle autofocus for host/editor uniformly
-
- selection
- DONE multiple node selection (via shift+motion)
- fixed state -- while `shift` pressed select or deselect only depending on first action (a-la FAR)
- DONE double/triple click working...
- delete
- copy/cut/past (???)
- touch/mouse (???)
- Q: should we select text (mouse/touch) without first focusing??
- _...logseq does not do this either_
- now this is possible by dragging from a click zone...
- copy/paste nodes/trees
- numbered lists: add counters to a depth of 6-7...
- _or find a way to make them repeat..._
- FEATURE: read-only mode
- FEATURE: auto-shift done blocks to the end of siblings... (option?)
- ...or should this be `sort:: done` -- i.e. sort children by done status??
- codeblock as a block
_...if only whitespace before/after clear it and style whole block..._
_...might be a good idea to do this with codeblock at start/end of block..._
- Code blocks and bullets:
- ```
code
```
- _bullet should be either in the middle of the block or at the first line of code (preferred)..._
- export html
- embed css
- cleanup html
- generate ideomatic html (???)
- style attrs (see: [attrs](#attributes))
- FF: figure out a way to draw expand/collapse bullets without the use of CSS' `:has(..)`
- table inline editing a-la code editing -- click cell and edit directly...
- smooth scrolling
- _...this is more complicated than adding `behavior: "smooth"` to `.scrollIntoView(..)` as scrolling animation will get interrupted by next user input..._
- need to cancel animation if things are moving too fast...
- make this generic (???)
- JSON API
- cli
- Q: do we use \\t for indent? (option???)
- Q: persistent empty first/last node (a button to create a new node)?
- Q: search?
- _seems that search should be external to the editor_
- empty item height is a bit off...
- Nerd fonts (option???)
- FEATURE: `collapse-children:: true` block option -- when loading collapse all immediate children
- FEATURE? block templates...
collapsed:: true
- something like: `TPL: [_] <editable/> -- <editable/>`
- `TPL:` -- template marker
- `<editable/>` -- field marker
- each child node will copy the template and allow editing of only fields
- not clear how to handle template changes...
- DONE selecting expanded code by _click-n-drag_
collapsed:: true
- # this is a test
string with
some extra words
- DONE `backspace`/`delete` in block contract the field with a delay...
collapsed:: true
- _...looks like we are updating size on keyup..._
- DONE Q: should list bullets be on the same level as nodes or offset??
collapsed:: true
- A) justified to bullet:
```
* list item
* list item
block text
```
_This is impossible to create in the current implementation_
- B) justified to text _(current)_:
```
* list item
* list item
block text
```
- DONE add horizontal scroll to code blocks...
collapsed:: true
- ```html
<outline-editor session-storage="outline-text" value="initial text"></outline-editor>
```
- DONE trailing whitespace is ignored in `.view`...
collapsed:: true
- demos:
-
leading whitespace...
- trailing whitespace...
- empty block\:
-
- _it seams that HTML ignores the last newline if it is not followed by anything_
- there are four ways to deal with this:#
- trim whitespace on refocus (option)
- show whitespace in both modes (option)
- REJECT remove trailing whitespace completely on refocus (a-la logseq)
- REJECT keep current behavior
- I do not believe in keeping whitespace in edit and hiding it in view (POLS)
- DONE add options to save to `.sessionStorage` / `.localStorage`
- DONE might be a good idea to focus the prev (empty) node if pressing `Enter` at 0 position
collapsed:: true
- <- place cursor here and press enter
- DONE make `---` block not show list bullets...
- DONE: undo: checkboxes and DONE??
collapsed:: true
_...this should be triggered by text change -- move current implementation to .__editedcode__()??..._
- DONE undo
- DONE crop: make path clickable
- DONE Q: crop: should we control crop via "crop-in"/"crop-out" instead of crop/uncrop??
collapsed:: true
- _crop-in/crop-out seems more natural..._
- DONE crop: show crop path (and depth)
- DONE over-travel pause -- when going fast over start/end stop...
- DONE focus:
collapsed:: true
- DONE `<editor>.autofocus`
- DONE `focused:: true` attr (`.text(..)`/`.json(..)`/`.load(..)`)
- DONE focusing editor -> focus focused block
- DONE identify a block:
collapsed:: true
- DONE index (flat)
- DONE path (index)
- DONE id
- _the id attr is done, but we still need to get the node via id_
- DONE pgup/pgdown/home/end buttons
- DONE FEATURE: "crop" -- view block tree separately...
- DONE unify attr parsing
collapsed:: true
- _now duplicated in `.parse(..)` and `.__code2html__(..)`_
- might be a good idea to add a special text parse stage and use in on both branches...
- DONE attrs in editor are not parsed correctly (see: [attrs](#attributes))
- DONE multiple attrs are not handled correctly (see: [attrs](#attributes))
- DONE call `.sync()` on all changes...
- DONE show list bullet if node is empty but edited...
collapsed:: true
- _...not sure which is best, so both options are available, see: `editor.css`_
- DONE Q: can we get the caret line in a textarea???
collapsed:: true
- _...this will fix a lot of issues with moving between blocks in edit mode..._
- DONE Q: can we place the cursor on item click where it was clicked before before the code expanded?
collapsed:: true
- for example
- #### Click in this line and see where the cursor goes
- _not sure how..._
- DONE click to select/edit node must retain click position in text...
- DONE checkbox navigation via `alt-<arrow>`
collapsed:: true
- _might be a good idea to include also TODO/DONE navigation -- not yet sure how to mark undone blocks (i.e. the ones marked with TODO in Logseg)..._
- toggle with `space`
- navigation auto-selects first checkbox
- DONE editor: backsapce/del at start/end of a block should join it with prev/next
- DONE editor: pressing enter in text edit mode should split text into two blocks
- DONE editor: shifting nodes up/down
- DONE Q: can we edit code in a code block directly? (a-la Logseq)
- DONE "percentage complete" in parent blocks with todo's nested
- DONE `.editor .outline:empty` view and behavior...
- DONE editor: semi-live update styles
- DONE do a better expand/collapse icons
- DONE loading from DOM -- fill textarea
- DONE focus management
- DONE mouse/touch controls
- DONE navigation
- DONE expand/collapse subtree
- DONE shift subtree up/down
- DONE create node
- DONE edit node
- DONE serialize/deserialize
- DONE add optional text styling to nodes
-
- ## Refactoring:
- Q: Implementation: JSON-based, DOM-based (current) or both?
- implement JSON-based
- compare and decide...
- Plugin architecture
- DONE basic structure
- plugin handler sequencing (see: `<editor>.setup(..)`)
- DONE plugin handler canceling (see: `<editor>.runPlugins(..)`)
- DONE Item parser (`.__code2html__(..)`)
collapsed:: true
- DONE split out
- DONE define a way to extend/stack parsers
- DONE Format parser/generator
collapsed:: true
- DONE split out
- DONE define api (see: `<editor>.__code2text__(..) / <editor>.__text2code__(..)`)
- CSS
- DONE nested rules (experiment)
- separate out settings
- separate out theming
- Actions -- move user actions (code in `.keyboard`) into methods
- Move to `keyboard.js`
- Q: do we need a concatenative API??
- `<block>.get() -> <block>`
