How do I display a markdown table on a website with go backend?
So you're going to need a Markdown parser that produces HTML. But there's a question of where is the data coming from and where you you want to process it? If it's going to be all on the frontend like a text editor, use a JS library for it (a quick google search produces ShowdownJS)

Docusaurus first impression and stealing like an open sourcer
Previously, I was required to implement the markdown support manually which meant that the use of public libraries was prohibited. My tool could only support limited styling elements such as header1, header2, links, bold and italics, but now I can finally let my tool have a full markdown support by using Showdown.

I made a full-stack portfolio site using Next.js and Tailwind!
The first two ages are very heavy on content so I decided to use markdown and tailwind’s typography plugin for styling. I also used showdown to fetch the markdown and turn it into HTML. The code for the above can be found on the site’s GitHub repository.

A Colorful Textarea
Adding syntax highlighting to an input field can be a hard task. supports neither styling of individual characters or words, nor HTML tags within itself, there is no fully supported native solution for that. Most editors work with
contenteditable
to actually render a fully marked up code snippet and let the user edit its content. This requires a lot of work to get it accessible (as in restore all the native functions of a textarea) and still adds a lot of complexity.
If you don't want that and are just looking for a quick, dead-simple solution: Here's how to colorize a textarea.Solution
The trick is to separate the input element from the displayed one. We can't color the content of a textarea, but we can make it invisible and replace it with marked up content. This works with monospaced fonts and fonts with a uniform width across normal, bold and italic characters. I'm using this for code and markdown, so that's perfectly acceptable for me. We also need to be careful to match the dimensions of the textarea exactly while only using font-relative units like
em
, to ensure that the highlight element scales well with the invisible textarea. The cursor is still in the textarea's context, while the text itself is rendered in the highlight element. We want to match every character of the textarea to match the highlighted one on a pixel-perfect basis.I also need to auto-resize my textarea. Since textareas usually scroll vertically, that would mess up the position matching with the highlight element. Auto-resizing seems like a graceful workaround to me.
The highlghting itself would work with every code parser. I'm using highlight.js to convert markdown to syntax-highlighted HTML. I listen for content changes in the textarea and parse new rendered code on every input. To counter the worst performance hits, I'll just use
requestAnimationFrame
. Debouncing isn't an option here, because the user would only see what they've written after they've finished typing. That'd be very poor UX.Demo
Note that this example also displays the rendered Markdown in a separate element. I'll use the change listener that I already have to splice in a Markdown renderer: Showdown.
Pros
- as accessible as a textarea
- is a progressively enhanced feature
- can be styled exactly to your needs
- dead simple solution compared to a rich text editor
Cons
- has performance issues with large texts (as do textareas in general)
- works only with monospaced fonts
- works only with auto-sizing textareas

or are you asking general technical question about markdown handling? there are existing solution which already do two-way convertion, including showdown and reddit comment box, the secret to make them "live" is to update both fields on key-down even

Why is Prettier rock solid?
1.1k isn't bad for a project with ~33 million weekly downloads[1], imo. Yes, I know that's not necessarily a good metric, but it's ~10 million more than React[2] which also has a similar number of open issues[3].

Actually that comment derives onto this other issue, where the merits of the decision are discussed:
https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/15956
and to be honest, it didn't look like silly to me :) It was an interesting read for me, who as a maintainer, I tend to give more importance to the official statements such as in this case written recommendations of the source company that defined the new format.
Another example: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/187
That issue has been open for 7 years.
For example, the latest Prettier makes XHTML files invalid by changing DOCTYPE to lowercase:
https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/15476
Prettier moves ts-ignore comments which can cause TypeScript errors:
https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/15876
Interpreting nested CSS functions' "-" as minus and inserting a space:
How can a person that introduces breaking changes in patch release and then just says everyone to piss off when facing critics (just because mister "has needs for this": https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/15553#issuecomme...) be a maintainer of such a widespread tool ?
Interestingly, prettier just made a breaking change in a patch release and refused to undo it for a week or so, until a particularly silly pedantic argument won them over.
