Collapsible Markdown links

[pauljacobson]

I noticed a really interesting update to a Markdown package in Sublime Text (possibly SublimeText-Markdown/MarkdownEditing: Powerful Markdown package for Sublime Text with better syntax understanding and good color schemes.) that has a nice way to collapse Markdown links:

Use case or problem

This is more of a visual tweak to help make Markdown links a bit more readable.

Proposed solution

I don’t know how readily this could be implemented. It would be a nice enhancement though.

Try the Wikilinks to MDLinks plugin.

Thanks for the suggestion. That’s not what I’m aiming for. I’m thinking more about the external, Markdown-formatted links that I have in my notes to other sites. Where I have a few links, it can look a bit cluttered.

It’s not a huge issue, I just like this update in the Sublime Text package, and thought I’d mention it here.

Excellent snippet @tallguyjenks – does the job better than the Footlinks plugin because it applies to any kind of URL, not just HTTP/HTTPS.

I use a pancake symbol instead of the link symbol, but doesn’t matter really.
