Action
Switch Syntax…
Shows a popup allowing you to see the current syntax and choose a new syntax from a list of your installed syntaxes for the current draft, i.e. choosing between Markdown, Taskpaper, etc.
Code mostly by Greg.
Steps
-
script
// Get currently installed syntax const syntaxes = Syntax.getAll(); const syntaxNames = syntaxes.map(s => s.name); // Get the current draft syntax const currentSyntax = draft.syntax; // Create a prompt to select a new syntax from a list or cancel let p = Prompt.create(); p.title = "Switch Syntax"; p.message = "Currently: " + currentSyntax.name; p.addSelect("listSelect", "Syntax", syntaxNames, [currentSyntax.name], false); p.addButton("Switch Syntax"); let didSelect = p.show(); // Set the selected syntax in order to switch let selected = p.fieldValues["listSelect"]; let selectedIndex = syntaxes.findIndex(s => s.name == selected); let selectedSyntax = syntaxes[selectedIndex]; // if Switch Syntax is selected, change the syntax to the selected syntax in the prompt if (p.buttonPressed == "Switch Syntax" && currentSyntax.name != selectedSyntax.name) { draft.syntax = selectedSyntax; draft.update(); app.displaySuccessMessage("Switched to " + selectedSyntax.name); }
