Drafts Directory: Markdown Emphasis/Italics

Action

Posted by toniwonkanobi, Last update over 6 years ago

Alternate version of Greg’s Action. This one creates Markdown emphasis around the selected text with asterisks (). If no text is selected, the Action inserts two asterisks (*) with the cursor in between them, ready for emphasized text entry.

Install

Steps

script

// Apply Markdown emphasis to selection, or insert * if no selection

var sel = editor.getSelectedText();
var selRange = editor.getSelectedRange();

if (!sel || sel.length == 0) {
  editor.setSelectedText("**");
  editor.setSelectedRange(selRange[0]+1,0);
}
else {
  editor.setSelectedText("*"+sel+"*");
  editor.setSelectedRange(selRange[0]+selRange[1]+2,0);
}
