panvimdoc VS nvim-libmodal

Vim Doc to markdown! IDK who's doing that, but people prefer other way around markdown to vimdoc using https://github.com/kdheepak/panvimdoc

If someone wants similar functionality and they are okay with depending on pandoc instead, I have this repo that make be of relevance: https://github.com/kdheepak/panvimdoc. It also works as a github action, so you can add to a .github/workflows/docs.yml file and forget.

If you're using panvimdoc you can put and comments to exclude parts from the generated vimdoc. See my plugin's README.md

Only one submode can be currently active, yeah. You can enter new submodes from within others but only one will be intractable at a time.

Maybe I'm alone in it, but I actually have liked VimDoc so far for detailed documentation, because of its structure and conventions. You can typically just copy-paste a few templates from a register and insert your relevant data as needed. As for right-aligning new variables, there's always :h right-align or just foregoing it altogether. The spacing is for look rather than function.

I'm glad to see more development in the user-mode space! I made nvim-libmodal which has layers that do something similar to this, but it seems this particular type of feature is less popular in the Vim community than in Emacs.

There are plugins that do this vim-submode nvim-libmodal for example . So it's possible at least to some extent.

Thanks! This looks like what I'm looking for, actually. From the issues, I found nvim-libmodal and vim-libmodal, which seem more actively maintained. I'll look into them!

Worth a look, but it really doesn't do much aside from adding a couple convenience commands and some modes for markdown manipulation and snippet generation.
