TRichView v18.6

Adds new methods and properties for Markdown export.

Features

• Markdown export
  • Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text-formatting syntax. It was designed to look like a plain text, and to be easy-to-read and easy-to-write.
    • While it is easy to create Markdown using a plain text editor, a possibility to create Markdown documents using a rich text editor (like the TRichView component) is still useful.
    • Markdown is widely used as a format of articles and notes in CMS, issue tracking systems, web sites (including GitHub, Stackoverflow, Jira).
  • New methods of TRichView:
    • SaveMarkdown, SaveMarkdownToStream - saving a whole document or a selected fragment as Markdown to a file or a stream.
  • New properties of TRichView:
    • MarkdownProperties - This property is also added to ScaleRichView editor (TSRichViewEdit) and to DevExpress editor (TcxTRichViewEdit).
  • In RichViewActions, TrvActionExport ("File | Export" command) can export to Markdown files.
  • The following content can be saved:
    • text with emphasis (italic) and strong emphasis (bold) attributes (determined differently when StyleTemplates (named styles) are used)
    • headings
    • horizontal lines ("break" items)
    • multilevel bullets an numbering
    • block quotes (if StyleTemplates (named styles) are used, paragraphs of certain styles are exported as block quotes)
    • hyperlinks
    • images
    • tables (optionally)
    • footnotes (optionally)
• Target DPI for TRVReportHelper
  • TRVReportHelper is a component used to draw documents on the specified canvas.
  • Before this version, this component always used the canvas pixel depth, which is either a printer or a screen DPI.
  • Since this version, you can assign TargetPixelsPerInch to override this DPI and make the output independent of the screen DPI.
