Previews?

[mrjones2014]

Is it possible to enable previews? Might only be possible in GUI vim since the docs are HTML documents.

[mrjones2014]

Could possibly use a terminal browser like elinks for this?

I have this sorta working on a branch, but the previews aren't very helpful as, for example, for MDN, the visible part is basically just a bunch of links at the top.

As part of #24 we'll need to map keywords/docsets to their directory name on disk -- once that work is completed we can use that to implement something like this: https://github.com/sunaku/dasht/blob/master/bin/dasht-query-line#L101

Just discovered https://www.brow.sh/

this might work better since it can actually render CSS properly.

got previews kinda working with brow.sh but not really usable -- its super blurred

Wdym it's blurry? I have nearsightedness and this is perfectly readable to me.

[mrjones2014]

@lukelex ... you're telling me you can read this code sample? lmao

You know, it might be worth discussing this on the neovim issue tracker, or in their Matrix channel. I know they're quite keen on a documentation browser within nvim, because I've talked about this with them before. Perhaps they're willing to meet you half way on this. Something that can parse HTML/Markdown, where the user can also fuzzy-find over the rendered view, would be perfect.

[mrjones2014]

Most likely they were talking about plaintext or markdown documentation though, not HTML.
