syl20bnr 74fdbb6795 Refactor and simplify company backends declaration
Enabling a company backend for a specific mode was a tedious tasks with code
scattered at different locations, one for local variable definitions, one for
company hook function definitions and another where the backends were pushed to
the local variables (which was problematic, since we ended up pushing the same
backends over and over again with `SPC f e R`, pushes have been replaced by
add-to-list calls in the new macro).

All these steps are now put together at one place with the new macro
spacemacs|add-company-backends, check its docstring for more info on its
arguments.

This macro also allows to define arbitrary buffer local variables to tune
company for specific modes (similar to layer variables via a keyword :variables)

The code related to company backends management has been moved to the
auto-completion layer in the funcs.el file. A nice side effect of this move is
that it enforces correct encapsulation of company backends related code. We can
now easily detect if there is some configuration leakage when the
auto-completion layer is not used. But we loose macro expansion at file loading
time (not sue it is a big concern though).

The function spacemacs|enable-auto-complete was never used so it has been
deleted which led to the deletion of the now empty file core-auto-completion.el.

The example in LAYERS.org regarding auto-completion is now out of date and has
been deleted. An example to setup auto-completion is provided in the README.org
file of the auto-completion layer.

Markdown layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/c22991d587d769e584cad398bd8a517d221e86af/layers/+lang/markdown/img/markdown.png

Description

This layer adds markdown support to Spacemacs.

Features

  • markdown files support via markdown-mode
  • Fast Github-flavored live preview via vmd-mode
  • TOC generation via markdown-toc
  • Completion of Emojis using company-emoji (still needs a way of showing, either using the emoji layer or having a proper font) 👏

BibTeX

For more extensive support of references with BibTeX files, have a look at the BibTeX layer.

Install

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add markdown to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

Configuration

Live preview

By default the built-in Emacs web browser is used to live preview a markdown buffer.

To use vmd (Github-flavored live preview) instead set the value of the variable markdown-live-preview-engine to vmd:

  dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (markdown :variables markdown-live-preview-engine 'vmd))

And install the executable with:

npm install -g vmd

Usage

Generate a TOC

To generate a table of contents type on top of the buffer: SPC SPC markdown-toc-generate-toc RET
