There are two Markdown previewer on the Marketplace too.

JBoss tools has similar preview and also adds two way selection so you don't get editing but you do get selection highlighting.

Hi,

e(fx)clipse has such a "feature". We have a "Preview" of Editor-Content
and do that by using the Adapter-System. As the interchange format we
use FXML.

We show a preview of everything that adapts to our interface (currently
it is our XML-Editor and an Xtext-Editor) and then listen for the dirty
event of the editor to refresh the preview.

- What about synchronization?

Same as outline I'd say, the preview would be supposed to either listen
to document change (to react to any change) or resource change (to react
to save), and to also honor selection.


Mylyn wikitext provides what you talk about, but it is disappointing
that the rendered 'HTML' is not editable. You need some kind of
traceability to allow at least simple edits, such as String change
to back propagate.


That's fine, as I don't think a preview should be editable. If it's
editable, then it deserves to be in the editor, not in a separate view.

Many years ago, I tried to create a multi-page editor in which a
text sheet supported text editing and a GEF sheet gave a graphical
equivalent. It was really hard; the platform support for multiple
pages, particularly graphical pages, seemed missing. I suspect that
an SVG edit would require exactly this kind of text/graphic multi-sheet

I also tried a preview mechanism for GMF Tooling Figure model editor.
However, while I initially tried a multi-page editor, I abandoned it
fully because for a preview, I do want to see the changes as I type,
without have to click on a tab. (Just like outline once again).
I ended up replacing the usual TreeViewer of Outline with the preview of
the currently selected figure, which was really making the preview
approach more pleasant to use. But I think it's not really what's
expected from Outline, hence why I ask about whether such a view is
already there.

I have Wikitext installed but don't see a view that seems like a
"Preview" (only the wikitext editor has a preview tab). Am I missing
something?
