Has anyone used wmd editor?
I am having a problem with the editor in a form. Its not being configured as the editor after setting up in a form. Only the text area is shown with no editing options. The form has already many controls and other scripting files included. I am using IE 7. Its working in another form which has only a text area in it.
Is this due to any conflict with other scripting files or any other issue?
I have used WMD (over here), though I don't know that it's really relevant; without a lot more detail, the advice I can give you is pretty general.
That being: yes, it probably is a conflict with some other element you're pulling into your form, and I recommend that you test this by commenting out everything but the WMD support, seeing if it works, and if it does, then re-adding things one at a time until you find one that breaks it. Then see if you can resolve the conflict in some way.

Does anyone know of an Ace editor API that enables adding or removing breakpoints by clicking the gutter in the editor window? I spent more time than I care to admit looking for this functionality in the API reference, source code, forums, blogs, etc. and the best information I found so far is this answer from May 2012. It's a good starting point, but the breakpoints don't move when new lines are inserted in the code above them. I find it hard to believe that Ace doesn't include this in the standard feature set by now, as it's something we've come to expect in any decent code editor and the Cloud9 environment supports it.
There is no API provided by Ace for this. Here's the implementation used by Cloud9 https://github.com/c9/c9.ide.run.debug/blob/master/breakpoints.js#L727.
Most likely it is kept in Cloud9 plugin instead of Ace because it depends on the format in which breakpoints are stored, which might be different for different ides.
I have tried changing the background color of toolbar in notepad++. I am not been successful so far. Frankly speaking I am not so liking the toolbar color and would like to have a dark background to the toolbar. Is there anyway I can do the same? Thanks in advance
Take a look at this question on Superuser. I haven't tested it, but I think it can help.
below there's the hack (as explained in the link):
The themes, as you guessed, can't do this (they only handle what's in
the text editing window). To change the colors you'll have to make
some very simple changes (since it's only changing color values) to
the source code (download from the site or GitHub).
Extract the file Find the elements whose color you'd like to change,
and change them. All colors I've seen are denoted RGB(xx,xx,xx)
Rebuild (see /readmeFirst.txt once you've extracted) I've just glanced
at these files, but I'm definitely going to work at this a little
tomorrow and I don't mind giving you my results once I've solved it.
Anyway, what I've seen at a glance is that you'll want to look in
/PowerEditor/src/ScitillaComponent/DocTabView (I think)
/PowerEditor/src/WinControls/TabBar
/PowerEditor/src/WinControls/ToolBar That's all I noticed that might
be of interest so far, but again, I'll look at it more tomorrow and
get back to you.
Edit: the official makefile will give some errors, because
/PowerEditor/src/Parameters.h references files incorrectly. Here are
the two I fixed so far:
#include "TinyXml/tinyXmlA/tinyxmlA.h" (line 33)
#include "TinyXml/tinyxml.h" (line 37)
Change those lines in Parameters.h to what I've written to deal with
them. Don't worry about the warnings ("extra tokens after #endif") -
they're just comments.
Edit 2: I'm using VS2012, in which the build process results in
numerous errors. I won't post them here unless someone eventually asks
about them, in which case I'm happy to do so. I should have a working
build up soon!
Edit 3: It seems Notepad++'s provided VS project file was created with
an earlier version of Visual Studio, and in updating the files, Visual
Studio 2012 creates many problems, so if you go that route, use
VS2010.
Edit 4: I didn't make it obvious in Edit 3, but I gave up after
realizing just how difficult it was going to be to get around the VS
errors. I imagine the code has changed significantly since I wrote
this answer as well; unfortunately I didn't note the version, but I'm
sure it was the latest available at time of writing this answer,
which, according to "All versions", was probably either 6.4.1 or
6.4.2. However, I hope this is a useful starting point for anyone else who reads (this answer has received consistent attention since
writing).
As far as I see into details of creation of the user interface elements (buttons, toolbars etc.), the answer is that toolbar color cannot be changed until developer explicitly built such a feature into the application. And N++ has no such a feature if you check its settings.
You can achieve changing of toolbar color by standard way: override toolbar painting routine after you grabbed N++ sources. Then compile custom Notepad++.exe which reflects your change.
If you feel toolbar coloring would be useful not only for you, but for number of users, consider registering a feature request for Notepad++ as many people (including me :)) already did for various features of N++.
Go to Settings> Preferences
Then select Enable dark mode.
Then you have the option to pick colors for the dark mode and can even set custom colors
A bit of a long-winded question(s)...
Is anyone aware of a markdown parser for markItUp editor? I tried showdown.js but it appears there is no way to integrate it with markItUp. This is despite makrItUp having a configuration API that allows you to specify a custom parser path and variable using previewParserVar and previewParserPath arguments.
In reality I prefer using WMD Editor, but when I tried using the SO version on gitHub I found it to be very buggy. There are so many forks but I'm unable to find a stable one.
I eventually found this fork, jquery-markedit, which is really cool, but when the form is posted, unlike the original wmd-fork, the form does not post the parsed text. The textarea data is posted as plain text. The text is parsed fine for preview, but it seems odd that it's not parsed for submission.
So I decided to resort to markItUp which has a markdown set but does not have a parser.
The version of WMD that SO currently uses is different from that on gitHub wmd-fork - is anyone aware of the current version SO is using and if it is available as open source?
Yes I'm aware of markitup!. I recently (today) tested markitup! and WMD. What strikes me is markitup! seems to have no undo functionality. And the header (h1 - h6) functionality in markitup! requires 6 buttons, but only 1 button in WMD.
Among all WMD repos, I've downloaded and tested these 2 repos, and I think they seem promising (I've tested them only 30 seconds each so I might be very incorrect).
umamo, which (says its commit messages) adds LaTeX math.
klipstein, which fixes buggs and makes | separators visible.
Both are based on the Open Library repo, which I need because it makes it possible to have many editors open at once. However, that fork did lots of refactoring; I don't know if that'll make it messy to merge changes from other branches.
I have no idea which repo Stack Overflow uses.
By the way, here is an interesting showdown.js repo (showdown is the JavaScript implementation of Markdown used by WMD), which implements support for RTL languages (according to its readme file). I'm considering including those changes in yet another WMD repo :-)

For a school project i need to write or use a online programming editor. It is a part of a bigger project. I thought of a java application, php/html/javascript or flash.
I have a couple of things i could do:
Find a good working application and edit it so it works with the rest of the project
Find good parts for a editor and make it working my self (syntax highlighter, auto-indent, autocompletion, etc.)
Combination of those two
Does anybody know a good editor or have tips for this project or a editor?
Thanks for reading,
Leon
For the syntax highlighting and basic editing part, check out my recent question Textarea that can do syntax highlighting on the fly?
Solutions presented there:
CodeMirror
Bespin (Mozilla only, but great)
For the rest - autocompletion etc. - ... Check out the Wikipedia article Comparison of JavaScript-based source code editors
Interested to see what other suggestions come up.
Bespin comes to mind. Though it might be too bleeding edge, depending on how the rest of the project is built/meant to be used (but hey, programmers love bleeding edge).
If you decide to use PHP/HTML/CSS/JavaScript, see GeSHi for syntax highlighting.
I have a side project developed with ACE.
It connects to your server through SFTP and allows you to create new files,read and edit all from your browser with your file tree at sidebar.
Demo at TePe
Code at Github Repo
I found Cobalah Editor it's also built on CodeMirror but with some customization. There are some themes available we can set, increase or decrease font size.
I wish to skin my aplication and have noticed that there appears to be no obvious way to do this.
I am used to skinning files for java and wondered if there was any way of changing the appearance of the "standard" delphi7 application.
Edit:(taggs)
Have you looked at SpTBXLib?
http://www.silverpointdevelopment.com/sptbxlib/index.htm
I use the Developer Express Skins library. This works well for standard components, and their own. You can create custom skins, or use their standard ones which include nicely designed haloween and winter ones. They also have a ribbon control to make your app Office 2007 look.
I've seen positive comments about AppFace, but I have not tried it.
Looks like there are some relevant links in this forum thread
Appface looks promising with the extreem looks and the need for just 2 lines of code. but thats a lot of money to make four buttons and a editbox look nice.
linkrank does the same thing but does not look as good and costs even more this time about 180.
Again both seem to boast that you only need 2 lines of source code and theme file.
the link to given forum did not seem to yeild any results apart from these two.
Would be br8 to find a free version even if i have to put in more work myself.
Edit: "suipack" is yet another tool for the same job
Re-Edit: VCL seems to be the basis of what is needed here some copenents listed on
http://www.vclcomponents.com/catalog/Delphi_Skin
Re-Edit-2: found a freeware version here
Re-Edit-3: added coponent but not only is there no help file with this it seems to be incomplete as throws a cannot find "skins.pas" exception
http://www.vclcomponents.com/Delphi/Form_Enhancement/VclSkin-info.html
gone evaluate it and post results back up.
After spending hours installing it or not,, as the case was,, installed the unicodecontroler and the toolbar2000 but the toolbar200 seemed to have a issue with the library path and after i fixed it it would not alow me to reinstall, i had to do this as SpTBXLibDsgn_*.dpk would not install due to not finding reference of tb2kdsgn_d7.dpk..
this results in me going ARRRRRGGGHHHHHH and bashing my head on the wall, the only method for creating skins for free in delphi7 comes as 7 manual installs(as a noob this was hard)
and thenn when i make a boo boo it wont let be uninstall,,, ouch
looks like there will be no styles for me....
Edit: if anyone wants to go for styles i seriously suggest the multiinstaller that i didnt see untill i had currupted my tbk2000 package :(
Another skinning component set for Delphi is AlmediaDev
AFAIK, there are two Delphi components available to skin your application without requiring any code, but both are not free
VCLSkin
SuiSkin
