Live codedoc code demo

[TysonMN]

Codedoc's code blocks are largely based on Marked (c.f. #25), but there are some differences (achieved via preprocessing).

Just like it is possible to demo Marked, is there a page where it is possible to demo codedoc's code blocks?

Perhaps it would be possible, but definitely not as trivial:

• you can have custom components, so you would either have to drop support for custom components on such a demo page, or be able to re-bundle client-side code.
• you would also need to be able to try out custom components I suppose?
• a lot of behavior of CODEDOC's own components are shipped via client-side scripts, which would need to be properly re-applied when the source markdown changes.

anyways I suspect this issue is perhaps more related to this repository, though generally it would be a nice thing to have such a demo page (at least with the standard set of components) for CODEDOC specifically.

Yes. This is definitely a "nice-to-have" tool. As I think you implied somewhat there, this is useful even if it doesn't support all the features possible when used in the complete environment of a user's website.

on further thought, I would think this is best implemented as a stand-alone project. CODEDOC might need to export/expose more of its internal machinery for such a project to work nicely, but I do not think this should be part of CODEDOC core itself (separation of concerns).

as a result, I am closing this issue, though this is definitely a nice idea that should be implemented independently.
