Collapsed Markdown live template must be enabled in Live Templates > Markdown
Collapsed Markdown creates a collapsible markdown snippet that will be correctly rendered on GitHub. This Live Template comes disabled by default and must be enabled before it will be available for completions.
Since the preview is updated as changes to the markdown document is made the <details> tags
will be refreshed in the closed form after every update. To make it easier to work on a document
with <detail> tags you should enable the Details tag opener scrip in Stylesheet settings so
that these tags will be opened after every update.
With Wrap on typing option enabled, typing in a text block will re-format the text block when
a space is typed and the line containing the caret extends beyond the current right margin. The
limitation on when wrapping is done is intended to reduce the overhead and delay when typing.
BACKSPACE will reformat the paragraph every time.
Additionally, typing/backspacing a space or a block quote > before the first character of a
paragraph will optionally match the block quote markers and indentation on all the continuation
lines for the paragraph.
Similarly, typing between a list marker and the first character of the paragraph will optionally indent the continuation lines to line them up with the first position of the text on the first line.
With Auto-format table on typing enabled will result in the table formatting options being
applied as you edit the table. This does delay the typing but does make it easier to see the
results. When performing extensive edits to a table you can temporarily turn off this options on
the toolbar.
If Add missing columns is enabled the typing before the leftmost pipe character will insert a
column into the table before the first column. Typing after the rightmost pipe character will
add a column after the last. If the table rows have un-even column numbers then reformatting a
table via the Format element button will also add columns but will do so at a location based
on the column that contains the caret. This way you can control where the missing columns are
inserted. For full control you should use the Insert table column button.
Delete empty row/col on backspace will automatically delete a row or column when BACKSPACE is performed in an empty row/column. Row deletion has priority over column deletion.
Insert on ENTER will add an empty table row below the row that contains the caret.
Automatic closing of bold, italic and strikethrough markers can be turned on in Editor > Code Style > Markdown. Enabling each option will add a closing character. If however you type a space after the initial character then the added closing one will be removed.
When pasting markdown text copied from a markdown file link and footnote references will automatically paste the references at the end of the file so that these references resolve in the destination file.
Links and link references will also be adjusted to reflect the change in the source reference file. The destination link address format will be changed to absolute URL format if the destination file link cannot be resolved in the original link format.
Table of contents for your document can be generated for standard markdown parsers that do not support a table of contents element.
The lines after the [TOC]: # tag are updated to reflect the content of the document when you
reformat document or reformat element
. More details in Adding a Table of Contents
