Specific settings for single buffer?

[alex-popov-tech]

Hello! I have a question - having in mind that i have some ( probably default ) config for markview, can i somehow for a single buffer change something in this config? or create new instance of markview to be buffer-specific?

Use case - i have some texts of various length as a table ( imagine csv ), and i want in single buffer to render this text as table ( i will add proper markdown syxtax for table myself ) with no borders, so only text, aligned as it was in table

You can use something like this in your config,

Note

You can then use bb to toggle the table border in normal mode.

local default = require("markview.spec").default.markdown.tables;
local no_border = require("markview.presets").tables.none;

require("markview").setup({
  markdown = {
    tables = function (buffer)
      if buffer and vim.b[buffer].noborder == true then
        return vim.tbl_deep_extend("force", default, no_border);
      else
        return default;
      end
    end
  }
});

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap("n", "bb", "", {
  desc = "Switch table [b]order",
  callback = function ()
    if vim.b.noborder == true then
      vim.b.noborder = false;
    else
      vim.b.noborder = true;
    end

    require("markview").commands.Render();
  end
});

thanks for rapid response! the thing is - im making my own plugin, and i don't have an access to users configs for markview, so i cannot use that approach unfortunately

I am assuming you are using require("markview").render().

You can manually render previews with custom config like so,

require("markview").render(0, { enable = true, hybrid_mode = false }, {});

You can set a custom config using the 3rd parameter. The options are same as setup().

I forgot to add,

If you plan on using markview for previewing files(and not actually edit them) it's better to use a nofile buffer and manually call markview.clear() markview.render().

If performance is a must, you might use markview.strict_renderer.render() instead.

You can check an example here.
