wxMarkdown

wxMarkdown makes adding panels of formatted text much easier! In stead of having to open and close each context yourself with a RichTextCtrl, enter what you want in Markdown and see it appear with the right styling.

Example

It's straight-forward. You initialise the Markdown panel as you would any other panel. You add Markdown content to it with AddContent. That's it. Embed it how you'd like.

import wx
import wxmarkdown as wxm

app = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None)

md = wxm.Markdown(frame)
md.AddContent("""
# A Very Simple Example
This example doesn't showcase _all supported syntax_.
It's just meant to showcase **how to use the package**.
""")

frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

Feature support

All basic Markdown syntax is supported. The package currently uses Markdown for parsing.

• Italic text
• Bold text
• Inline code
• Heading
• Unordered list
• Ordered list
• Link
• Image
• Blockquote
• Horizontal rule

You can enable the embedding of external images by setting allow_download_images to True.

To-Do

Some of these features are likely not yet implemented solely because I haven't been able to figure out wxPython's Rich Text modules fully. If you understand how the package works and know a solution for either of these todos, I would greatly appreciate if you'd get in contact with me.

• Linkable images: This could be implemented by binding a function to the click of an image. However, I cannot get this to work within the context of a RichTextCtrl.
• Link hover effect: Change appearance of a link upon hovering over it.
• Horizontal Rule: A horizontal divider
• Improve default theme
