Set up the PKM for your text editor...

• Neovim
• VSCode
• Zed
• Helix

Neovim

1. Give Neovim access to the binary.

   • Cargo Install (from source)

     cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/Feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide.git markdown-oxide

   • Cargo binstall (from hosted binary)

     cargo binstall --git 'https://github.com/feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide' markdown-oxide

   • AUR (from source)

     paru -S markdown-oxide-git

     yay -S markdown-oxide-git

   • Mason.nvim (from hosted binary)
   • Nix Unstable: pkgs.markdown-oxide

2. Modify your Neovim Configuration ^nvimconfigsetup

   • Modify LSP Config (making sure to adjust capabilities as follows)

     -- An example nvim-lspconfig capabilities setting
     local capabilities = require("cmp_nvim_lsp").default_capabilities(vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities())
     
     require("lspconfig").markdown_oxide.setup({
         -- Ensure that dynamicRegistration is enabled! This allows the LS to take into account actions like the
         -- Create Unresolved File code action, resolving completions for unindexed code blocks, ...
         capabilities = vim.tbl_deep_extend(
             'force',
             capabilities,
             {
                 workspace = {
                     didChangeWatchedFiles = {
                         dynamicRegistration = true,
                     },
                 },
             }
         ),
         on_attach = on_attach -- configure your on attach config
     })

   • Modify your nvim-cmp configuration

     Modify your nvim-cmp source settings for nvim-lsp (note: you must have nvim-lsp installed)

     {
     name = 'nvim_lsp',
       option = {
         markdown_oxide = {
           keyword_pattern = [[\(\k\| \|\/\|#\)\+]]
         }
       }
     },

   • (optional) Enable Code Lens (eg for UI reference count)

     Modify your lsp on_attach function.

     local function check_codelens_support()
     local clients = vim.lsp.get_active_clients({ bufnr = 0 })
     for _, c in ipairs(clients) do
       if c.server_capabilities.codeLensProvider then
         return true
       end
     end
     return false
     end
     
     vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ 'TextChanged', 'InsertLeave', 'CursorHold', 'LspAttach', 'BufEnter' }, {
     buffer = bufnr,
     callback = function ()
       if check_codelens_support() then
         vim.lsp.codelens.refresh({bufnr = 0})
       end
     end
     })
     -- trigger codelens refresh
     vim.api.nvim_exec_autocmds('User', { pattern = 'LspAttached' })

   • (optional) Enable opening daily notes with natural langauge

     Modify your lsp on_attach function to support opening daily notes with, for example, :Daily two days ago or :Daily next monday.

     -- setup Markdown Oxide daily note commands
     if client.name == "markdown_oxide" then
     
       vim.api.nvim_create_user_command(
         "Daily",
         function(args)
           local input = args.args
     
           vim.lsp.buf.execute_command({command="jump", arguments={input}})
     
         end,
         {desc = 'Open daily note', nargs = "*"}
       )
     end

• Ensure relevant plugins are installed:
  • Nvim CMP: UI for using LSP completions
  • Telescope: UI helpful for the LSP references implementation
    • Allows you to view and fuzzy match backlinks to files, headings, and blocks.
  • Lspsaga: UI generally helpful for LSP commands
    • Allows you to edit linked markdown files in a popup window, for example.

VSCode

Install the vscode extension (called Markdown Oxide). As for how the extension uses the language server, there are two options

1. Recommended: the extension will download the server's binary and use that

2. The extension will use markdown-oxide from path. To install to your path, there are the following methods for VSCode:

   • Cargo Install (from source)

     cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/Feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide.git markdown-oxide

   • Cargo binstall[1] (from hosted binary)

     cargo binstall --git 'https://github.com/feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide' markdown-oxide

   • AUR (from source)

     paru -S markdown-oxide-git

     yay -S markdown-oxide-git

   • Nix Unstable: pkgs.markdown-oxide

Zed
