glare.nvim

Very opinionated markdown rendered.

Requirements

A patched font for icons support.

nvim-treesitter with the markdown and markdown_inline parsers installed.

require("nvim-treesitter.configs").setup({
    ensure_installed = {
        "markdown",
        "markdown_inline",
    },
    sync_install = true,
    ...
})

Enabling Tags and Wiki Links support

To enable support for tags and wiki links you need to build the markdown_inline parser by yourself with the right extension enabled. The tree-sitter command line tool and node.js must be installed first:

$ git clone https://github.com/tree-sitter-grammars/tree-sitter-markdown/
$ cd tree-sitter-markdown/tree-sitter-markdown-inline
$ ALL_EXTENSIONS=1 tree-sitter generate
$ tree-sitter build --output markdown_inline.so .
$ cp markdown_inline.so /your/parser/directory

Also be sure to have your parser directory come before anything else in your runtimepath:

vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend("/custom/parsers/directory")

Then check with following command:

:for p in nvim_get_runtime_file('parser/*.so', v:true) | echo p | endfor

Your custom parsers must appear before any parser bundled by default with Neovim.

Usage

Rendering is done as soon as you open a markdown file. Use the :Glare command to toggle rendering for the current buffer.
