This adds the markdown.it engine to Discourse.
https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it
As the migration is going to take a while the new engine is default
disabled. To enable it you must change the hidden site setting:
enable_experimental_markdown_it.
This commit is a squash of many other commits, it also includes some
improvements to autospec (ability to run plugins), and a dev dependency
on the og gem for html normalization.
This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
We've had quite some time to find the deprecation errors in Ember and
most should be fixed. It is time to turn up the difficulty, which will
raise exceptions in development/test mode if a deprecation is present.
This will force developers to fix them as they encounter them.
This patch sets I18n.defaultLocale in the Discourse.start() script block (it
was formerly always 'en') to SiteSetting.default_locale, and patches
translate() to perform fallback to defaultLocale followed by english.
Additionally, when enable_verbose_localization() is called, no fallbacks will
be performed.
It also memoizes the file loading operations in JsLocaleHelper and strips out
translations from the fallbacks that are also present in a prefered language,
to minimize file size.
