How to apply about-formatting.sh to appropriate tree files

[actionmystique]

Hi there,

I could not find a way with v1.2.1 to get any markdown/html files formatted
correctly when read from the tree.
I already successfully use the
"about-filter=/usr/local/lib/cgit/filters/about-formatting.sh" setting in
/etc/cgitrc, but it only pertains to the about page.
How can we use this filter for all appropriate tree files?

This is not currently supported.

Some patches were posted a little while ago [1] which add this feature,
but they're not quite ready to be integrated yet.

The best summary of where we want to go is [2].

Christian Hesse (list at eworm.de) has brilliantly added this feature with the
patch available here
<https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/diff/filters/html-converters/md2html?h=ch/anchorlinks&id=42e70dcbe84e128ba23a25918e3d5d9aac656dc6>
.
It allows you to:
- add your own static table of contents and the links now point to the
right paragraph
- or add a [TOC] marker anywhere in the markdown file and let cgit
dynamically build your table of contents

I was able to test the about link with a toc having up to 5 levels of
indentation, which is much more than Gitlab is able to do (2).

Very nice ;-)
