AStyleFormatter plugin gets run on Markdown files

#1

I use the AStyleFormatter plugin and set it to automatically format my file when I save. This is really good when I’m writing C++ and so on.

However, its save-hook gets activated by the Markdown syntax if my cursor happens to be inside a fenced code block when I save.

Is there any way to have Markdown not activate a fenced code block’s save hook when I save the file, or have it only apply to the code block in some way? It’s pretty annoying when this happens.

It looks like the plugin author had switched to VSCode. You may have to modify the source code by yourself.

def get_syntax_for_view(view):
    first_selection = view.sel()[0]
    if first_selection.empty():
        caret = 0
    else:
        caret = first_selection.a
    syntax = SYNTAX_RE.search(view.scope_name(caret))
    if syntax is None:
        return ''
    return syntax.group(0).lower()

Thanks. I use PackageControl to keep my packages in sync and I’ve never done anything with writing my own packages - is there a quick guide for how to make a package local? I assume it’s just a matter of moving it into my synchronized User/Packages/ (or whatever) folder and doing the edits there?

The simplest way would be to install PackageResourceViewer. Open Command Palette, type PVR, then Open Resource. Select AStyleFormat.py, find get_syntax_for_view, make the necessary changes, (or copy and paste), save the file, and restart Sublime Text.
