syl20bnr ebe4c60264 Revert "Defer packages by default using use-package-always-defer"
This reverts commit 29c78ce841 and all other fixes
that have been made afterwards.

The motivation is that use-package is seen by many as a replacement for
`require`. Is use-package always defer the loading of packages then is breaks
this use case, this does not respect POLA so even if it was making Spacemacs
loading faster (up to 3s faster on some startup on my machine) we just cannot
use it, it would be irresponsible. Spacemacs should be easy to use, loading
performance will come with time but it is not a priority.

Markdown layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/f9968bf32695b39c76488ec4cd1350978ffa53f6/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

Additionally there is flymd package in chrome layer that allows to preview markdown buffer in Chrome. Please refer to chrome layer documentation for more information.

Automatic MMM-Mode Generation

To generate MMM-Modes for languages set the value of the variable markdown-mmm-auto-modes to a list of the languages. For languages where the mode name directly relates to the language name, use a string. Otherwise, use a list of `("language" "mode")`:

  dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
    (markdown :variables markdown-mmm-auto-modes '("c" "c++" "python" "scala" ("elisp" "emacs-lisp"))

Note: Spacemacs already defines the variable markdown-mmm-auto-modes to a bunch of languages. Consider opening a PR on the Spacemacs repository to add new languages instead of overriding the variable in your dotfile.

Usage

Generate a TOC

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